Hello Chris,

I’m sorry to hear about your wife’s situation, and I hope she recovers quickly.

I completely understand that you won’t be able to join us in Jinan. We’d be happy to have you present online via Zoom instead. If you’re able to record your presentation, that would be fantastic—it would allow us to add subtitles and translations for broader accessibility. You can find our video recording guidelines at https://ivorysql.io/2025/06/11/video-recording-procedure/ for reference.

Please let me know your thoughts on this arrangement.

Wishing you and your wife all the best during this time.

Best regards,
Grant
