Good morning and welcome to the Emerald Holding, Inc. Second Quarter 2024 Earnings Conference Call. At this time, all lines are in listen-only mode. Following the presentation, we'll conduct a question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions]

Before we begin, let me remind everyone that this call will include certain statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform act of 1995. This includes remarks about future expectations, beliefs, estimates, plans and prospects. In particular, the company's statements about projected results for 2024 are forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated or implied by such statements. Such risks and other factors are set forth in the company's most recently filed periodic reports on form 10-K and form 10-Q, and subsequent filings. The company does not undertake any duty to update such forward looking statements.

Additionally, during today's call, management will discuss non-GAAP measures which it believes can be useful in evaluating the company's performance. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measure can be found in the company's earnings release.

As a reminder, this conference is being recorded and a replay of this call will be available on the Investors section of the company's Web site through 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on August 14.

I would now like to turn the call over to Mr. Herve Sedky, President and Chief Executive Officer. Sir, please go ahead.

Herve Sedky

Thank you, Julie, and good morning everyone. It's great to be with all of you today to discuss our second quarter results. I'll start with a brief overview or a review of our performance, and then give an overview of our strategy. David Doft, our CFO, will then provide more detail on our financials. We had a positive performance in what is a seasonally smaller quarter due to the relatively less significant show schedule which, combined with our Q1 performance and expectations for the second-half, set us up for another full-year of strong revenue and EBITDA growth. These trends reflect the exceptional value in ROI we provide our customers for their marketing budgets.
