Welcome to the twelfth issue of the process mining newsletter!

The preparation of the Fifth International Conference on Process Mining (ICPM 2023) is running at full speed. As we write this preface, many authors are wrapping up their papers to submit them in time for the research track’s deadline, while the organising committee shapes and perfections the full program. In this issue, the General Chairs, Claudio Di Ciccio and Andrea Marrella, provide an overview of the conference. Moe Wynn, Full Professor at the Queensland University of Technology and member of the Steering Committee of the Task Force on Process Mining, narrates her academic story, from her early investigations in the area of workflow management to the recent lead of the XES and OCED standardization efforts. On the other side of the world, process mining is gaining ground too! Najah El-Gharib (PhD student at the University of Ottawa) confirms this great trend announcing the foundation of the Canadian Process Mining Community. One of the most notable members is Arik Senderovich, Assistant Professor at York University and PC co-Chair of ICPM 2023. In his interview, Arik guides us through the research path across process mining and probability theory. The Process Mining Summer School has deeply contributed to expanding and spreading knowledge in the area. Marco Pegoraro and Wil van der Aalst share with us the news that all the teaching material and video recordings of the lectures are freely available online. Our community is very active and the events that are co-organised by the Task Force process mining go beyond our flagship conference: Pnina Soffer gives an overview of upcoming satellite events.
