Introduction

The conference is in part a celebration of the past, present and future contributions to mathematics of Ken Goodearl. While the central connecting theme is noncommutative algebra, there will be coverage of the broad connections of this subject with analysis, combinatorics, geometry, mathematical physics, and topology.

Recent exciting developments and emerging future directions will be emphasized, with particular focus on representations of algebras, noncommutative algebraic geometry, homological and categorical techniques for Hopf algebras, and C*-algebras.
