Participants --- both in person and remote --- may contribute talks, to be selected by the scientific committee for plenary, parallel, and lightning talk sessions. Abstracts will be due on January 20th, 2026. More details about the submission and evaluation process will appear on the conference website soon.

The conference "Discoveries and Vistas: Life, the universe, and higher categories" (DV60) celebrates the 60th birthday of Dominic Verity, honoring his significant contributions to category theory and homotopy theory. This conference will be held from July 20 – 22, 2026 and will feature one-hour talks from the following invited speakers:

John Bourke, Masaryk University
Nick Gurski, Case Western Reserve University
Mike Hopkins, Harvard University
