Probably Unable to Attend due to Family Emergency

Hi, On Friday my wife went into the hospital with serious pain and mobility issues. She is now back but has been asked to avoid stairs. Unfortunately this means I have to take on some responsibilities that I was unable to hand off properly to my sons. At this point I have to assume I will be unable to travel for the next couple weeks. If you are interested in having me present remotely, I can do that. I am sincerely sorry, and also disappointed as I was very much looking forward to visiting Jinan and presenting in person. -- Best Wishes, Chris Travers

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 Sent from my iPhone

Bagger Talk.mov <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Z3VHeGdd4S3h1kDBf3hv270POWLxe4UB/view?usp=d...> Here is a recording of my talk. It leaves time for Q&A if I can connect to take the Q&A. If you would prefer I can try to retime/record to a slightly longer timeframe without Q&A. On Mon, Jun 23, 2025 at 8:51 PM Chris Travers <chris.travers@gmail.com> wrote:
