Just a reminder for folks who will be in Montreal next week for the 2026 AIC + CAC Annual Meeting that we will have an in-person IWG gathering on Friday, May 1 from 7-8pm EST at Le Central West Shefford / West Shefford Brewing Co. (https://www.brasseursdewestshefford.ca/visite)! This will be an informal happy hour and an opportunity for imaging folks to connect in person. You don't need to be an IWG member to join, and you are more than welcome to bring folks with you. We hope to see some of you there!

Subject: Imaging Program at 2026 AIC + CAC Annual Meeting in Montreal
We are really excited about the imaging program that IWG has developed as part of the 2026 AIC + CAC Annual Meeting in Montreal.
Wed, April 29 (9am - 4pm EST) "Multiband Imaging: Getting Started and Ramping Up" Pre-conference Workshop – SOLD OUT
Thurs, April 30 (12:15 – 2pm EST) Imaging Tips Lunch Session
This lunch session will include informal tips, tricks, and tools for practical, inexpensive, and creative hacks and solutions to help overcome imaging challenges. This session is for conservators across specialty groups, imaging specialists, scientists, and more who are interested in and use imaging as part of their conservation work.
IWG mostly gathers on Zoom, so this is a great opportunity to meet in person! This will be an informal Happy Hour at a local restaurant in Montreal. You don't need to be an IWG member to join, and you are more than welcome to bring a friend.
Sat, May 2 (4-5 pm EST) Imaging Session
"CT Scanning Applications at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston" -- Adrienne Gendron, Meghan Abercrombie, Abigail Hykin, Dr. Jared Katz, Evelyn (Eve) Mayberger
There are other imaging talks and posters throughout the program that may even include IWG members! If you are presenting, please let us know and we can try to gather additional presentations to share with the group.
We hope to see several of you at the end of the month in Montreal!
