I am pleased to share that both of our keynote speakers for DH2026 have now confirmed their participation: Professor Kim Hyeon and Professor Kirsten Thorpe. We look forward to their contributions to the conference theme, Engagement, and will announce further details in due course.

At the same time, we are now in the process of recruiting reviewers for paper submissions. I would be grateful if you could circulate the call for reviewers within your respective communities and local constituent organizations. As announced in the ADHO November newsletter yesterday, we have recently conducted a soft reset of the reviewer pools. Please share the reviewer nomination form (deadline: December 5) widely to help us build a broad and diverse reviewer pool.
