The Come Together project team met in the beautiful city of Ljubljana at the beginning of the summer. The Ecsite Conference, which is a global meeting of science engagement professionals, was held there between June 5 and 8, 2024. The conference was hosted by Kersnikova Institute at the GR - Ljubljana Exhibition and Convention Centre. The science engagement experts addressed many pressing topics: climate change, decolonisation, community work, equity and inclusion, digitalisation, envisioning futures and many more.

The conference program offered not only interesting topics, but also dynamic approaches to their consideration. In addition to excellent keynote speeches and vibrant community meet-ups, there were presentations and discussions, as well as more playful approaches, such as a climate misinformation gameshow, a storytelling on trial, a battle between experts on what makes a good exhibition brief, but also practical strategies for envisioning futures.
