Morgan Rogers (he/him) (May 16 2021 at 13:44):Hi all,
I expect many people here will be interested in the Toposes Online school and conference, happening on the 24th-26th ant 28th-30th June 2021 respectively. Registration is open now (see link above) and free, but closes on May 31st. Here's the description from the website for people who don't like clicking on links:
The event "Toposes online" represents the third edition of the main international conference on topos theory, following the previous ones "Topos à l’IHES" and "Toposes in Como".
The format of the event is the same as that of the other two editions: it will consist of a three-day school, offering introductory courses for the benefit of students and mathematicians who are not already familiar with topos theory, followed by a three-day congress featuring both invited and contributed presentations on new theoretical advances in the subject as well as applications of toposes in different fields such as algebra, topology, number theory, algebraic geometry, logic, homotopy theory, functional analysis, and computer science.
The main aim of this conference series is to celebrate the unifying power and interdisciplinary applications of toposes and encourage further developments in this spirit, by promoting exchanges amongst researchers in different branches of mathematics who use toposes in their work and by introducing a new generation of scholars to the subject.
Because of the pandemic, this edition of the conference will take place entirely online. The participants may take advantage of the associated forum to discuss with each other (please register to it if you wish to post messages).

Morgan Rogers (he/him) (Jun 23 2021 at 13:29):Just a reminder that this is starting tomorrow, and that the organizers have arranged a forum for discussion relating to the school and conference.
Also, more details are up on the conference website, including the talk timetable and abstracts for the invited talks, in case you're curious.
Roman Kniazev (Jun 23 2021 at 14:11):Will the talks be recorded? (Sorry if it is written explicitly somewhere, and I didn't notice)
সায়ন্তন রায় (Jun 23 2021 at 14:52):@Roman Kniazev Yes. (See, after Sponsors in this page.)
Roman Kniazev (Jun 23 2021 at 14:54):@সায়ন্তন রায় oh, right, thanks!
সায়ন্তন রায় (Jun 23 2021 at 14:56):I would like to ask though, how much background is required for the listeners to understand a sizable part of the mini-courses (say, e.g., Prof. Caramello's talk and Prof. Rezk's talk)?
Morgan Rogers (he/him) (Jun 23 2021 at 15:08):I believe they are designed for people with some knowledge of category theory but nothing more. That would be a good question to ask the organisers on the forum, though!
Morgan Rogers (he/him) (Jun 24 2021 at 08:20):Okay, seems like a first course in category theory at least is a more realistic necessary background...
