Dear EMWA Members, Exciting news from our conference in Warsaw! Besides the excellent conference programme, there were a few updates and initiatives going on “behind the curtains”. First of all, I would like to thank our workshop leaders, members of the EMWA Professional Development Committee (EPDC), the Executive Committee, and all volunteers for their great support in planning, organising, and running the conference. We had95 members attending for the first time (many green lanyards!), more than 40% of the overall number of registrants. We were delighted to welcome these new attendees and hope they enjoyed the conference.
