Ringing Nasdaq Closing Bell!
We were in New York today to ring the closing bell for the Nasdaq! This is a really incredible experience and I’ve been able to do it three times now with SPS! We rang the opening bell in 2014 which was the prelude to our very first analyst day as a public company.
We rang the closing bell in 2023. That one was actually supposed to happen in 2020 when we celebrated 10 years as a public company but due to the pandemic that didn’t happen. So in 2023 we marked the end of an era as Archie Black, our CEO was retiring. That was a particularly special event and evening with spouses along as well.
This third visit was to celebrate hitting 100 Quarters of Growth — 25 years of consistent top-line growth every single quarter. It is an incredible accomplishment that few companies have achieved. I’m proud to be able to say I was there for over half of those 100 quarters. This time we had 100 customers join us at the event for a nice reception before and after the ceremony. It was incredible!
