Good afternoon, and thank you for joining us for Viad's 2021 Third Quarter Earnings Conference Call. During the call, you will hear from Steve Moster, our President and CEO and President of GES, David Barry, our President of Pursuit, and Ellen Ingersoll, our Chief Financial Officer. Certain statements made during the call, which are not historical facts, may constitute forward-looking statements. Information concerning business and other risk factors that could cause actual results to materially differ from those in the forward-looking statements can be found in our annual, quarterly, and other current reports filed with the SEC. During the call, we'll be referring to certain non-GAAP measures, including income or loss before other items and adjusted segment EBITDA. Important disclosures regarding these measures, including reconciliations to net income or loss attributable to VAD, can be found in Table 2 of our earnings press release which is available on our website at Deodd.com. With that, I'd like to turn the call over to Steve.

Thanks, Carrie, and good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for joining us on today's call. During the call, we'll discuss our business performance during the 2021 third quarter, provide some insight into the recovery of our industries, and review our financial position. David will provide business updates for Pursuit shortly, and after that, I'll share some business updates for GES, and Ellen will cover our financial results towards the end of the call. Before I turn it over to David, I'd like to thank our entire team for their fantastic job meeting the needs of our clients and guests with great service and operational execution during a challenging quarter of accelerated business activity at both Pursuit and GES. I'm pleased with our performance during the quarter and optimistic about the future of our businesses and industries. We're well positioned for recovery with pent-up demand for iconic and unforgettable leisure experiences and in-person live events. I'd like to now turn the call over to David to discuss what's happening across Pursuit. David?
