And for anyone fancying a little summer European tour, you can then hop over to Newcastle for ICOP-L2, 24-26 August: conferences.ncl.ac.uk/icop-l2-26/ Among other delights, @spencerhazel.bsky.social and I will be leading a workshop on #EMCA and Conversational AI

#NORDISCO 2025 reminded me why I’ve missed #EMCA conferences so much (haven’t been to one in ages) 🤓 An inspiring conference from start to finish, and Trondheim is now the most northern place I’ve ever been ☃️
