A conference focused on the topics of moduli spaces, including configuration spaces, hyperplane arrangements, homological representations and geometric aspects of quantum invariants.

The goal is to bring together researchers from different domains under the general umbrella of "moduli spaces" and to encourage the discovery of new connections between these areas.

This is a successor to the conference Moduli and Friends, which took place in September 2023.
