The Welcome Reception marks the official opening of REFSQ 2026 and provides the perfect opportunity to reconnect with colleagues, meet new faces, and settle into the conference atmosphere before the technical program begins.

This informal evening gathering brings together researchers, industry practitioners, students, and organizers in a relaxed setting. It's your chance to start building connections that will enhance your conference experience, discuss research interests, and get a preview of the exciting week ahead.
