Here's an announcement from the ACT Steering Committee:
The current plan is for @Pawel Sobocinski and @Priyaa Varshinee to run the conference Applied Category Theory 2026 in Tallinn, Estonia: they are at the Tallinn University of Technology. There's a chance this may not happen, only because of the inherent unpredictability of life, so don't buy your tickets just yet - but this is the plan. We thank Pawel and Priyaa very much for volunteering to do this.
This is great news! I’m looking forward to it!
The ACT conference steering board wants to require all future organizers to live stream the conference. @Pawel Sobocinski and @Priyaa Varshinee have agreed to live stream ACT 2026.
@Pawel Sobocinski @Priyaa Varshinee , could someone volunteer to help organize if they are not physically in Tallinn and/or may not be able to go in person?
The next annual conference on applied category theory is in Estonia!
