In June, we held our Annual Executive Summit in New York City, hosting executives from over 20 of our portfolio companies. We believe this event was a great opportunity for our executives to network with peers, our advisors, and the Providence team. We've enjoyed seeing this event evolve over the past few years and look forward to future Summits with our team!
