On behalf of the Irigaray Circle, we would like to express our deepest thanks to all those who made our inaugural conference on the philosophy of Luce Irigaray such an overwhelming success. Thank you: To Luce Irigaray. For your inspirational work that brought us all together, for the generosity of your time, and the gift of your contribution to the conference. To our keynote speakers, Tina Chanter and Penelope Deutscher. Your exceptional papers and enthusiasm for the conference and the works presented there was exemplary. To the presenters, respondents, and moderators. Your participation in the conference was invaluable and the work produced will impact Irigaray scholarship significantly. Without you this conference could not have occurred. To Serene Khader, Sabrina Hom, and Mary Rawlinson, for all your tireless efforts in organizing such an incredible conference.
