The conference will consist of 10-12 talks starting on Friday afternoon and ending on Sunday at noon. Some of the lectures will survey the current state of classical, unstable homotopy theory problems like the Moore conjectures concerning homotopy exponents or the Barratt conjecture. Some others will be concerned with recent developments in the field, in particular, relations to group theory as well as the study of configuration spaces.
