The Moab Topology Conference will take place at Utah State University Moab on May 4–6, 2026. The conference will focus on recent developments in various subfields of low-dimensional and quantum topology. The goal of the conference is to share current research with graduate students and postdoctoral scholars as well as to give an opportunity for them to talk about their work.

The plenary speakers for the conference are:

Alexandra Kjuchukova (University of Notre Dame)

Christine Ruey Shan Lee (Texas State University)

Eric Samperton (Purdue University)

Each speaker will deliver one introductory lecture and one research lecture. The remaining talks will be given by graduate student and postdoctoral participants. Graduate students are especially encouraged to attend and give a talk! The deadline to apply for funding and submit an abstract is March 2, 2026.

We expect to cover travel and local accommodation costs for US-based graduate students and postdoctoral participants thanks to a grant from the National Science Foundation. Participants will have access to a shared hotel room in the conference hotel.

We hope to see you in Moab!
