Are you guys expecting to be really busy post Labor Day? Our group never really slowed down over the summer but also there was a general consensus that second half would be slower than the first. Seeing a lot more pitch and discussion materials come up recently too. Wondering how other groups are looking for the rest of the year.

Group heads noted we would be much busier. Time will tell.
Classic comment from the post mba associate. Insightful stuff here
You guys never really slowed down? Wow, that's surprising, since general deal activity has slowed down precipitously since early spring.
You doing live deals, or mostly pitching?
This past month has been hilarious to get people on calls. Talking to this European insurer and they basically said they couldn’t have a meeting at all during most of July or August due to vacations. Different world…
Lol.
