BEC5 papers and posters In response to the global health crisis of 2020 the fifth British Egyptology Congress was held entirely online from September to December 2020. More than 700 people across the world attended BEC5 to hear from 50 different research projects and a further 7 posters. In total, more than 3300 tickets were distributed across the Congress for presentations, posters, and social events. Despite its online format, the Congress was hosted and organised by Giorgia Marchiori and Giuseppe Delia at Durham University and the Society is grateful to them both for their adaptability and planning. They have been assisted by Esmeralda Lundius and Dr Elena Tiribilli in the editing of the below online papers. The global reach of BEC encouraged the Egypt Exploration Society to rename the Congress to better reflect this worldwide audience and to promote greater inclusivity in its speakers.
