Why it might be a great idea to come to #NetSciX2026 in New Zealand in February 2026? None of the network science flagship conferences ever happened in this area of the world. New Zealand and Australia have a very active research community adding unique perspectives. 1/n

It's true, OpenReview was down this week. So more time to submit to #NetSciX2026 hosted in New Zealand. And don't forget that a week after, there's also a complex systems symposium in Wellington with amazing keynote speakers: www.tepunahamatatini.ac.nz/symposium/ 2 reasons to plan a trip!
