The 33rd IPDMC Conference was held online in June 2026, streamed from KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. Following the bankruptcy of EIASM, the organization that had previously hosted and administered IPDMC, the community had to reorganize the conference at very short notice, without its usual infrastructure or budget.

Thanks to an extraordinary collective effort, more than 400 participants came together across 14 parallel online sessions. Our deepest thanks go to Jennie Björk, Mats Magnusson, Johan Arekrans, and the entire KTH team for their creativity, commitment, and determination in making the conference possible. IPDMC 2026 became a powerful demonstration of the resilience, solidarity, and community spirit that define IPDMC.
