Welcome back to the podcast. We're glad you're here with us today. And today we're going to talk about an upcoming starting strength event and you see the beautifully

constructed logo for this event on the screen behind us.

This logo is courtesy of our friend.

Steph, not me.

I thought you didn't make that?

No.

Nick Delgado is here with a staff actually built the logo.

Notice the gray tone in keeping practical programming?

Is that your idea?

Yeah.

We could say this is a collaboration.

Let's call it a collaboration because that's probably more likely what it is.

What is this event? It's called StrengthCon.

And I think the official title of it is StrengthCon won.

This is the first time we've done an event like this that's open to the public.

We have a starting strength coaches association convention once a year in August.

And that event is only open to the credentialed coaches.

And we have a business meeting and have a lot of technical presentations and stuff.

And we have a lot of interest in the general public

coming to that, but it's a closed event and always will be a closed event. So for how long

we've been kicking around this idea of having just an open event? Probably as long as we've had

the conference because we get emails every year with people asking if they can come.
