00:08:17.700 --> 00:08:24.340 But it was kind of like AI scanning the same data set, and it's giving me two different answers. 00:08:24.700 --> 00:08:26.860 I don't know that I like what's happening here. 00:08:27.200 --> 00:08:33.880 So I'm not publicly saying either of those numbers yet, but it was somewhere, my guess is somewhere between 85 and 90. 00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:38.640 I believe that's accurate since it said it was 81, it said 85, and one said 92. 00:08:39.500 --> 00:08:39.700 Cool. 00:08:40.140 --> 00:08:42.920 All right, so that's 95, 90-some countries. 00:08:43.060 --> 00:08:46.140 I mean, this is a really fascinating global spread. 00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:50.760 What was unique was the gaming conference. 00:08:51.180 --> 00:09:00.240 The gaming conference was the only conference that people signed up for one conference. 00:09:01.160 --> 00:09:03.820 You know, this is what I, this is what I, I really do believe this. 00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:16.400 In the digital missionary space, you get all sorts of different people trying to like, you know, sign up, trying to buy in, trying to be a part of it. 00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:20.200 And they're all at varying levels of starting out. 00:09:20.400 --> 00:09:24.300 The majority of them are starting out and trying to figure out what's going on. 00:09:25.860 --> 00:09:32.660 The gaming group, you know, and led by, you know, they've been around a while, right? 00:09:32.660 --> 00:09:36.220 You got XP Church, it's been around for a decade plus. 00:09:36.640 --> 00:09:51.440 You got Mark Lux Digital Church, Mark Lutz, coming in very strong and organized, you know, insert in nerd culture, NCMS, insert in Bernie with what he's doing with Reach and Twitch streamers. 00:09:51.920 --> 00:09:56.180 Like the, by the way, all friends love everybody in here. 00:09:56.180 --> 00:10:02.560 But the gaming culture understands digital mission work. 00:10:04.160 --> 00:10:11.400 I mean, I don't want to put a label by saying so much better, but I'm trying to figure out a word that is not insulting to everybody else. 00:10:11.400 --> 00:10:18.200 That implies that gaming is better than you, but you just haven't figured it out yet. 00:10:18.820 --> 00:10:21.620 Like the gamers, they got it going on. 00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:38.340 And so I'm excited to gather some of these gamers together from a global scale to learn from, to celebrate, to cast vision for what can be as we're even ramping up to do more in the gaming space. 00:10:38.340 --> 00:10:47.240 I'm not just excited about this generation of gamers with Susie and Mark and so many others that are following suit. 00:10:47.400 --> 00:10:54.720 I'm excited about the next generation that's just coming along, getting started and seeing where it's at. 00:10:54.780 --> 00:10:58.080 Oh my gosh, so much coming in comment wise. 00:10:58.280 --> 00:11:01.800 We got flat cap, just the elite coming to DM con. 00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:04.200 I don't think I said the number. 00:11:04.540 --> 00:11:06.660 The current registration is 107. 00:11:07.180 --> 00:11:08.080 And you know what?
