-----------------------
  
On behalf of the Furhat team, I am very happy to share the news that the International Furhat Conference series is returning for a third edition - this time with a twist. Since the acquisition of Misty Robotics <https://www.mistyrobotics.com/>, we have been exploring how the Misty robot is being used across the research and innovation landscape. So this year, not only will you get to hear from experts in the field who are performing groundbreaking research with the Furhat platform, you will also learn from scientists and innovators who are utilizing Misty in the same space. 

The conference agenda can be seen here <https://furhatrobotics.com/furhat-conference-spring-2022/#agenda>. Returning virtually, this spring's speaker lineup includes:
Alessandro Vinciarelli <https://vinciarelli.net/> (University of Glasgow, Scotland): Social Intelligence in Machines, Why and How
Axel Reitzig <https://www.linkedin.com/in/areitzig/> (St. Vrain Valley School District, USA): Leveraging the Power of Social Robots to Advance Public Education
Catherine Pelachaud <http://chronos.isir.upmc.fr/~pelachaud/index.php> (Sorbonne University, France): Interacting with Socially Interactive Agents
