Matteo Capucci (he/him) (Jan 18 2024 at 07:10):I received this call for workshops on 'diagrams', maybe someone is interested in organizing one on string diagrams?
* 2nd Call for Workshops: Diagrams 2024 *
14th International Conference on the Theory and Application of Diagrams
September 27 – October 1, 2024
University of Münster, Germany
www.diagrams-conference.org/2024
* Highlights *
Workshop sessions
Graduate Symposium
Three Tracks: Main, Philosophy, and Psychology and Education
Best Paper and Best Student Paper awards
Keynote speakers: Mateja Jamnik, Catarina Dutilh Novaes, and Barbara Tversky
The Diagrams conference provides a united forum for all researchers with an interest in the study of diagrams. The conference fosters multi-disciplinarity and allows researchers from areas such as computer science, mathematics, psychology, philosophy, history (of science, art, etc.), education research, and more to meet and share their perspectives on the theory and application of diagrams.
We invite proposals for half-day or full-day workshops. These workshops will be held on the first (Friday, September 27) and the last (Tuesday, October 1) conference day. They will occur at the main conference venue at Münster University in Germany.
Workshops are expected to address topics of interest to the Diagrams 2024 conference attendees. These include but are not limited to, the issues of interest found on the Main Track, Philosophy Track, and Psychology & Education Track Calls pages at: www.diagrams-conference.org/2024.
Examples of previous Workshops include:
· International Workshop on Set Visualisation and Reasoning
· The International Workshop on Euler Diagrams
· Technology-Enhanced Diagrams Research
· Accessible Graphics: Graphics for Vision Impaired People
At least one of the organizers of an accepted Workshop submission will be expected to attend the conference.
For more information, see: https://diagrams-2024.diagrams-conference.org/calls/workshops/
SUBMISSION
A Workshop proposal must contain:

There was! I went to one in Birmingham 2019, and I believe there was one planned in 2020 as well.
Jules Hedges (Jan 22 2024 at 11:04):Oh right, I was at the one in Japan too
Jules Hedges (Jan 22 2024 at 11:05):I should probably step up and submit STRING 5 in Münster, I guess
Jules Hedges (Jan 22 2024 at 11:07):I've been scheming recently about a slightly more specialised workshop covering "string diagrams with holes in" (ie. combs and related things) and "string diagrams on non-flat surfaces". But maybe that's too specialised.

I think there would be a nontrivial number of people studying quantum circuits and causality which would be interested.
