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
