Great. Thank you, Charlie. We are encouraged to report modest year-over-year revenue growth for the second quarter in a row. We think it is clear that the worst of the downturn is behind us. We expect to continue to see similar revenue growth in Q4 and into the early part of 2025. We have several reasons to be optimistic, including a better interest rate environment, The certainty that comes with the election behind us and the expectation that there will be a new technology investment cycle around AI. We use our strong balance sheet to invest during the downturn to strengthen our leadership position. This strength will be increased with the proposed combination with Informa Tech's digital business. We expect this deal to close this quarter. I will now open the call to questions.
