Day 3 of the Bright Emissaries conference began with a dedication to the late French astronomer Olivier Chesneau, who had passed away in May of this year. The dedication was presented by Phillipe Stee.

The invited talk for the morning session was titled “Be Stars Through the Telescope: An Observational Review”. The author, who couldn’t be present was Christophe Martayan, and so the talk was presented by Dietrich Baade and Thomas Rivinius.
