00:10We are very excited to once again bring together the business management community so critical to

00:15the success of our beloved entertainment industry. What could be better than show business?

00:21Congratulations to all of you profiled in our Variety 2024 Business Managers Elite Impact

00:28Report. We're so proud of your dedication to your work and your many achievements throughout the year.

00:33A round of applause to all of you.

00:40Variety would also like to congratulate Matt Lichtenberg, Partner Level 4 Management,

00:46for being recognized as this year's Business Manager Elite.

00:50And we're going to hear from Matt later this morning. We're also looking forward

00:59to a keynote conversation with John Landgraf, the Chairman of FX Networks.

01:09And this year we're excited to welcome our Premier Partner, XO, who brings a strong synergy with the

01:15audience by serving business leaders, world talent, and the entertainment icons who rely

01:20on flexible private travel. What could be better than private travel? So we'd like to thank them

01:27for providing our attendees. They have a special offer to everyone in this room. I believe you

01:32received something by email, but they're also here, it's XO, and they're by the coffee station.

01:38So if you want to figure out how to travel to the Cannes Film Festival by private jet for your

01:42clients, please do speak to them. And we'd also like to thank this morning's supporting partner,
