+## Call for Late-Breaking Posters (Deadline: May 27th, 2026)
+
+Missed the deadline to submit a proposal for TEI 2026? Now is your chance! We are pleased to announce an extended call for late-breaking posters for TEI 2026: Creating Connections, Unsettling Practices. 
+
+Late-breaking poster submissions are expected to report on early-stage work, introduce new work, projects, or software, or present experimental ideas for community feedback. A “poster slam” session will be dedicated to presentations of 1 minute each. Poster presenters will have the chance to tell interested parties more about their project during the poster exhibition, where the audience can browse freely. Proposals should not exceed 300 words and should be submitted via [ConfTool](https://www.conftool.pro/tei2026/). 
+
+We particularly encourage undergraduate, graduate, early-career, and marginalized scholars to apply as well for one of two needs-based [Travel Assistance awards](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfao1trvPAPrRUpV4_rp0A2CLoLHVEA_GpgBQkWYVbeOQr_Lg/viewform). You may apply for a travel award while your poster proposal is under adjudication.
+
+All late-breaking poster proposals are due **May 27, 2026** and will be reviewed by June 5, 2026.

 ## Save the date! August 10-14, Vancouver, BC, Canada

 The University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University will co-host TEI 2026. This is the first time the TEI conference will be held in Vancouver and the third time in 26 years that it will be held in Canada. The annual conference provides an opportunity for a diverse international group of researchers to advance text encoding practices, demonstrate new tools, pose questions across disciplines, learn from each other, and train the next generation of scholars in the principles and practices of text encoding. The 5-day conference will host academic panels, poster presentations, tool demonstrations, public keynotes, and plenaries, plus innovative outreach activities including a film screening, public exhibit, open workshops, capacity-building meetings, and collaborative working events. 
 
 We look forward to welcoming you for the in-person conference, **August 10-14th**. Workshops, panels, and presentations will be held at UBC's Vancouver campus with the final keynote at Simon Fraser University's Harbour Center campus in downtown Vancouver.
