    With a host of exciting new observational results, especially JWST detections at high redshifts and discovery of the gravitational wave background from pulsar timing arrays, the time is now ripe for a conference to discuss the origin and evolution of supermassive black holes (SMBHs). This meeting aims to bring together researchers from a variety of fields and cover the following science themes:

    – SMBH Formation Theories
    – SMBH Accretion Processes & Growth Models
    – SMBH – Galaxy Relations
    – SMBH – Star Formation Connections
    – SMBH Feedback
    – Massive Star & Supermassive Star Formation
    – First Star and Galaxy Formation
    – Observations of SMBHs in the Early Universe
    – Cosmic Reionization
    – Gravitational Wave Observations of SMBH Binaries
    – SMBH and AGN Demographics, including Multiplicity
    – Intermediate-Mass Black Holes
    – Lessons from the Galactic Center

    Meeting schedule:
    Sunday 14th July 2024, Welcome reception
    Monday 15th – Friday 19th July 2024, 4 days of science sessions + 1 day excursion
