We are pleased to announce that to mark the transition of the Aegaeum series and the International Aegean Conference to the Department of Classics at the University of Cincinnati, the 21st Conference is being organized in honor of Professor Jack Davis and titled NESTOR: Celebrating the Work of Wise Jack Davis. 21ème rencontre égéenne internationale / 21st International Aegean Conference.
It will be held at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, on June 8-11 2026, and the proceedings will be offered to Jack as a Festschrift.
Given the particular purpose of the 21st Conference, the organizing committee, composed of Natalie Abell, Emily Egan, Florence Gaignerot-Driessen, Eleni Hatzaki, Shannon LaFayette Hogue, and Joanne Murphy, has invited 80 scholars among Jack's former students, close colleagues, and collaborators in the field to contribute with papers addressing one of his main areas of fieldwork and research (1. the Cyclades; 2. the Peloponnese; 3. Albania). However, the 22nd conference, provisionally scheduled in 2028, will resume the open call for papers system that was generally used for the Aegean conferences.
Information regarding the conference (program, abstracts, registration, venues etc) will progressively be added to the website.
