About the Conference

Welcome to the Vanderbilt Colloquium Series on Groups, Geometry, and Dynamics. This conference brings together leading researchers and emerging scholars to explore the rich interactions between group theory, geometric structures, and dynamical systems. It is being held during the week before the start of the 2026 International Congress of Mathematicians in Philadelphia and is an official satellite conference of the congress.
