This year&#8217;s topic (<a href=\"http:\/\/swc.math.arizona.edu\/index.html\">Perfectoid Spaces<\/a>) is drawing a huge number of people there next month, with about 450 participants expected (in the past numbers were more like 100).  This should be a veritable Woodstock of arithmetic geometry, with no one I&#8217;ve talked to quite able to figure this out, thinking that there probably weren&#8217;t 450 people worldwide interested at all in arithmetic geometry.  It seems everyone in the field will be there and then some.<\/p>\n<p>Peter Scholze is the opening and closing act.  The other lecturers who will take the stage have started to put lecture notes for their lectures on the school website.<\/p>\n<p>Some are dubious that there really are 400 or so students in the world with the background necessary to understand this material.  See for example <a href=\"http:\/\/mathoverflow.net\/questions\/260330\/a-roadmap-for-understand-perfectoid-spaces\">MathOverflow<\/a> where nfdc23 isn&#8217;t very encouraging to a student who doesn&#8217;t know any rigid analytic geometry, but plans to attend the AWS.  In any case, I hear Tucson is quite nice in March.<\/p>\n<p>At some kind of other end of the spectrum of such things, a couple months later experts will gather in Germany to discuss this field (see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simonsfoundation.org\/mathematics-and-physical-science\/simons-symposia\/p-adic-hodge-theory-2017\/\">here<\/a>). Also for about five days, at the Schloss Elmau Luxury Spa and Cultural Hideaway, the sort of place heads of state go for G7 meetings. Rooms run $600 a night or so, but in this case the tab is being picked up by the Simons Foundation.
