Hi, everyone. Before we begin, I want to quickly introduce Tyson Seeley, our new Vice President of Investor Relations. Tyson joins us from Keurig Dr. Pepper, where he ran Investor Relations for the last three years, and prior to that, he was in IR and Financial Planning Analysis at Pinnacle Foods. We're very excited to have him on board and look forward to leveraging his expertise as we ramp up our Investor Relations function. Welcome, Tyson.

Thank you, Chris, and hello, everyone. Thanks for joining today's call. I'm very happy to be here with Forrester and look forward to making connections with all of you. Earlier this afternoon, we issued our press release for the first quarter of 2022. If you need a copy, you can find one on our website in the Investors section. I'm joined this afternoon by our Chairman of the Board and CEO, George Colony, and Forrester's Chief Financial Officer, Chris Fenn. George will open the call this afternoon, and Chris will follow with a financial update. We'll then go into Q&A. Kelly Hipler, Chief Sales Officer, and Kerry Johnson, Chief Product Officer, will also join us for the Q&A portion of the call. Before we begin, I'd like to remind you that this call will contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as expects, believes, anticipates, intends, plans, estimates, or similar expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements. These statements are based on the company's current plans and expectations and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause future activities and results of operations to be materially different from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ are discussed in our reports and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Lastly, consistent with our previous calls, today we will be discussing our performance on an adjusted basis, which excludes items affecting comparability. While reporting on an adjusted basis is not in accordance with GAAP, we believe that reporting numbers on this adjusted basis provides a meaningful comparison and an appropriate basis for our discussion. You can find a detailed list of items excluded from these adjusted numbers in our press release. And with that, I'll hand it over to George.
