Dear Members of the PC,

We now have both keynotes lined up with titles and abstracts.

Sarah Kenderdine will deliver the opening keynote under the title “Two-Fold Revolutions: Computational Museology in the Age of Experience”. The closing keynote will be held by Claire Fernandez and is entitled: "Contesting power in the digital age: the role of civil society in Europe." We are really excited about both of them.

We are currently working on the program and have managed to group some nice thematic units for the long papers; we will proceed next week with the short papers. Workshops are already online and panels don’t request much decision-making since they occupy one full slot each.

One topic that we have left unaddressed is the reviewer award. Several reviewers have received the same number of nominations for the reviewer award, and only one of them can receive the award. If two people from the PC felt inclined to take the matter in their own hands, it would really be great (not that we would not want to do it, but we would really like a fresh look on submissions and reviews). We would send you the list of the reviewers that were nominated (PC members excluded) and ask you to select one by looking at their review. If you would like, you could also present the awardee with a small eulogy during the conference. Please let us know what you think about this suggestion. 

All best,

Anne and Toma
