    Dear SIG Chairs, SIG Day Chairs, and SIG Day Reviewers,

    About 40% of these papers were submitted as fast track, an enormous success for the first year of this initiative.  Thanks to all your hard work, we put together a fantastic programme and passed papers to M&SOM Editorial Board for potential fast-tracking.  Both were only possible due to the calibre of the reviewer reports that we have received this year.  

    An immediate success of the review process was the significant improvement in the overall quality of the review reports we received.  The constructive review process helps all papers; we received feedback from authors who benefited from the reports they received.  Thank you! We understand this was an arduous process. Yet, thanks to all your positive energy, efforts, suggestions and constructive feedback, it was a success.

    We are looking forward to seeing all of you in Munich for our first in-person conference in 2 years.  Let's celebrate our collaboration and success as a society.

    Finally, please let us know if you have any feedback to improve the process. You can reply to this email, or we can set up a time to discuss.

    Warmest Regards,

    Feryal, Burak, Owen and Tim
