About ICOFARA 2026
The International Conference on Fractal Geometry and Related Areas (ICOFARA 2026) is a global event to be held on May 1 - 3, dedicated to exploring the rich and evolving field of fractal geometry. The conference will be held in a hybrid format, combining both in-person and online participation to foster collaboration and accessibility across countries and time zones.
Participants and speakers are welcome to join virtually or at one of several in-person hubs (to be able to join a hub you need an invitation), where groups can gather to attend sessions together. In the hubs either speakers will present live (and stream the talk), and others talks will be projected if the speaker is not in that hub.

The University of British Columbia (UBC) — ESB 4133 (PIMS library), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
The University of Rochester (UR) — Rochester, New York, United States
The University of Wisconsin (WISC) — Wisconsin, Madison, United States
