Dear all,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>MEC 2026 is nearly here!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>On the Friday of the conference, there will be opportunities for MEI interest groups to meet, but also for other groupings to take the opportunity of being together to get things done. We\u2019ll provide spaces where possible, but on a first-come, first served
basis.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please send requests to the conference e-mail address (<a href="mailto:conference2026@music-encoding.org">conference2026@music-encoding.org</a> or <a href="mailto:mec2026@conftool.net">mec2026@conftool.net</a>), and we\u2019ll do our best to accommodate you.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Looking forward to seeing you all in Tokyo!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
