Yes, we'll relaunch the CFP for the conference once the new dates have been finalized. There is already an excellent slate of papers that were accepted, and I hope that everyone who had planned to be in Toulouse right now will be able to attend in 2022 -- new proposals are welcome as well. It's too early to know yet, but I would anticipate a similar date due to the academic schedule of Universit? Toulouse II. It's a lovely city to visit.
