First day of #APCVEPC2026 was filled with image processing, moving tributes, and a lot of chatting. The worst thing that happened is we ran out of canapés, so I'm counting that as a success.

Proud to have been part of the small but mighty team behind this year’s EPC/APCV with @sbmost.bsky.social, Branka Spehar & @popwatson.bsky.social. Pulling off a 400+ person event with just a few academics wasn’t easy, but we managed to do it while keeping that classic EPC warmth and supportiveness.
