John Baez (May 09 2022 at 21:16):There's a conference at Tuesday May 24 - Saturday May 28 at Chapman University in Orange, California:
John Baez (May 09 2022 at 21:16):Please do not ask whether it will be available online, either live or recorded. If I knew I'd tell you!
John Baez (May 09 2022 at 21:18):The schedule of talks is not yet available on the conference website. However, I happen to have a tentative schedule of talks.
UPDATE: here is the official schedule of talks.
David Michael Roberts (May 10 2022 at 01:26):Wow, that looks really cool! I really, really hope the talks are recorded (please pass this back to the organisers!)
John Baez (May 10 2022 at 02:31):Okay.
Alexander Campbell (May 10 2022 at 04:46):From the conference description:
1950-1960 were the golden years for mathematics.
It seems I was born 60 years too late!
Nicolas Blanco (May 10 2022 at 06:41):There is a zoom link on top of the schedule that is on their website, so I guess it should at least be available live.
John Baez (May 10 2022 at 22:15):Here's an official program of the conference:
John Baez (May 10 2022 at 22:18):As Nicolas mentioned, we now know the talks will be on Zoom... so there's no serious obstruction to getting the talks onto YouTube. I'll ask @Alexander Kurz to try to make that happen.
Here is some more information:
The schedule includes the dates and times of the conference each day, the room location on Chapman’s campus, the Zoom link and meeting ID if you plan on attending virtually, and a link to the official conference website. We kindly ask that you share this information with your colleagues that may find our conference interesting and encourage them to attend. Attendance either in person or virtually is free of charge, however non-invited speakers who have not already contacted me must RSVP through the link on the website.

I was told this:
We plan on recording the conference to be able to share with other colleagues that are not able to make the conference dates.
I replied thus:
A number of my colleagues have asked if these recordings will be put on YouTube. This is standard practice for math talks now. It's easy if you're recording the talks already, and it's good to do. It's not every day that so many experts on Grothendieck give talks about his work! This would preserve those talks for posterity, and after a few years the number of people who watch these talks will easily reach 10 times the number of people who attend the conference either in person or remotely.
John Baez (May 14 2022 at 23:45):To attend in person register here. To attend via Zoom go here. The talks will be recorded, and I hear they will be made available later on YouTube.
John Baez (May 19 2022 at 17:31):Are any of y'all going to the Grothendieck conference next week? I'll be there Monday night - Wednesday dinner.
Mike Shulman (May 19 2022 at 17:58):I'll be there! I'm giving a talk on Friday, and I'll probably be there for most of the rest of it, minus Wednesday and Saturday.
John Baez (May 19 2022 at 21:26):Okay, I'll see you on Tuesday then.
I'm showing up Monday evening, talking on Wednesday at 9 am, then staying until dinner that night.
Mike Shulman (May 20 2022 at 04:21):I might manage to be around Wednesday morning long enough to hear your talk, at least I hope so.
John Baez (May 20 2022 at 05:40):That'd be great. I'm giving a very basic talk on motives... just for fun.
Mike Shulman (May 20 2022 at 05:57):Well, I know absolutely nothing about motives, so I'll be the perfect audience.
John Baez (May 20 2022 at 06:01):Great! That's the audience I want! (Unfortunately there's a guy at the conference named Yves André who is a real expert on motives, but he'll just have to put up with me.)
Steve Awodey (May 27 2022 at 19:53):any word on whether and when the talks will be on youtube?
John Baez (May 27 2022 at 23:33):They will appear somewhere, sometime, and I will tell the world when it happens.
Mateo Carmona (Jun 22 2022 at 13:54):The videos of the conference are finally online :tada:
