Alright, I don't know where Josh is, but he said he would be able to meet online. We'll just start and hope he joins us soon.

Hi Jess. It's already Saturday and the conference（会议）is only four days away so I hope Josh can join us. We need to make sure that things are running according to schedule.

Josh                                       9:02a. m.

Hey everyone! Sorry I'm late. Have I missed anything?

Marilyn                                     9:03 a. m.

We're just seeing if everything's on track. How are things on your end, and do you need any help?

Josh                                         9:04 a. m

I've got almost everything under control. But one of the hotels overbooked their rooms so. some participants have nowhere to stay. I'm trying to get some more accommodations（住宿）but it's a busy week in San Diego.

Jess                                          9:05 a. m.

I know some people who run（经营）a bed and breakfast there. Let me give them a call and see if they have rooms.

Josh                                          9:06a. m.

That would be great. Right now, we are still in need of 10-15 rooms.

Jess                                           9:07a. m.

OK. I'll do my best. Josh, let's touch base again this afternoon. The three of us should meet up again in two days to decide everything. I'll send out a meeting request later today.
