Official events kicked off just about an hour ago,

and we are thrilled to be surrounded by so many incredible people in this space.

We've got huge names and crypto joining our live programming today.

One of them is coming up in just a few minutes,

so you have to stick around to find out who that is.

But later, we have Trust Machine CEO, Medib Ali, joining us and 21 co-president Ophelia Snyder. So stick around to hear from them.

I'm Jen Sanasi, and I'm here with my co-host, Market supporter, Helene Braun. Hey, Helene. Hi, Jen.

How are you? I am fabulous, and we never get to do a show together so I'm very excited I know I was just gonna say you're my co-hose but we never actually co-hose on a podium together so this is so great I'm so happy to be here I know and if our guests are wondering who is joining us right now we have CEO of Onix at JPM Morgan Umar Farouk

Hi good morning good morning Thanks for having me.

How's consensus going so far? I know we just started, but how are you feeling?

I think the energy is very, very high this year. I think that's great to see. I love this event generally because

I feel like every corner of consensus is always bubbling with innovation.

And, you know, there's nothing but cool ideas all over the place.

I know. I just did a shoulder shimmy there because I'm so excited.

Helene, you've been around this morning.

What are you looking forward to from Amarar's perspective before we get into our conversation

with Omar?

I feel like it's always hard when you're at a conference like this.
