The conference was very well attended and speakers included established experts such as Dmitry Belyaev, Manjunath Krishnapur, Par Kurlberg, Domenico Marinucci, Joaquim Ortega-Cerdà, Giovanni Peccati, Gabriel Rivière and Mikhail Sodin along with emerging young researchers such as Valentina Cammarota, Yaiza Canzani, Steve Lester, Alexander Logunov, Maurizia Rossi and Nadav Yesha.
There was also a presentation by Analema Group led by Evgenia Emets, on the inter-relationship between mathematics, and in particular the mathematics discussed at the conference, and art both in general and the specific art produced by this group.
A highlight of the workshop was the announcement by Alexander Logunov of significant progress he has made towards resolving Yau's conjecture - a proof of the lower bound.
The conference was funded by the ERC through Igor Wigman's grant Nodal Lines.
