[evan.p...@gmail.com]

Hello all,

We are putting together a one-day workshop that brings together researchers whose work touches Joe's legacy — to celebrate his ideas and carry them forward. It will be held on July 19, 2026 in Lisbon, Portugal, as part of FLoC 2026, co-located with KR 2026. There is more information on the website: https://joefest26.github.io/

You can submit a paper here: submissions.floc26.org/joefest 

The submission deadline is  May 5, 2026, with notification of acceptance by May 19, 2026.

Also, we are compiling a collection of messages, photos, and short videos from those who knew him, which will be presented to his family as a gift. You can submit here even if you do not plan to attend the workshop. Please submit your material using this Google Form.

Thanks,
Sander, Hana, Esra, Ivan, Fangzhen, and Evan
