Arrival date: Sunday, March 12.
Departure date: Friday, March 17.
All times are PDT. Organizers are Bobby Acharya (ICTP & King’s College London), Max Hübner (University of Pennsylvania), Dave Morrison (UCSB), and Sakura Schafer-Nameki (Oxford).
The meeting will cover several topics: generalized symmetries (Monday and Tuesday), physics and special holonomy (Wednesday and Thursday), summary and future vision (Friday).
All talks are held in the Fred Kavli Auditorium.
Remote participants who would like to join via Zoom should please register at https://ucsb.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIsc-2sqDkvH9D1ZSdjuqeLNhaFpAVsR7dq.
In-person participants are staying at the Best Western South Coast Inn (BWSCI), and KITP is running a shuttle between the hotel and the conference venue.
