Guest post by John Bourke.

The next International Category Theory Conference CT2025 will take place at Masaryk University (Brno, Czech Republic) from Sunday, July 13 and will end on Saturday, July 19, 2025.

Brno is a beautiful city surrounded by nature with a long tradition in category theory. If you are interested in attending, please read on!

Important dates

• April 2: talk submission
• April 18: early registration deadline
• May 7: notification of speakers
• May 23: registration deadline
• July 13-19: conference

In addition to 25 minute contributed talks, there will be speed talks replacing poster sessions, and we hope to accommodate as many talks as possible.

The invited speakers are:

• Clark Barwick (University of Edinburgh)
• Maria Manuel Clementino (University of Coimbra)
• Simon Henry (University of Ottawa)
• Jean-Simon Lemay (Macquarie University)
• Wendy Lowen (University of Antwerp)
• Maru Sarazola (University of Minnesota)

A couple of extra notes:

• We recommend that people book accommodation early as possible as there will be other events taking place in town that week, such as the Moto GP. We have booked a limited number of rooms in advance.
• In order to promote environmentally friendly travel within Europe, there will be a small prize for the person who travels the furthest from their starting point to the conference by train or bus. Obviously this will not be practical for most attendees, but if you are the sort of person who fancies an adventurous train trip, this could be your chance!

If you would like more details on any aspect of the conference, have a look at the website or send an email to the organizers at ct2025@math.muni.cz

We look forward to seeing as many of you in Brno as possible!
