This conference aims to provide a forum for understanding and exploring various recent developments in groups and dynamics that revolve around groupoids and equivalence relations. Topics will include topological orbit equivalence, amenability, hyperbolicity, self-similar groups, entropy, and rigidity in measurable group theory.

The aim of the meeting is both to introduce younger researchers to this fast-growing field and to showcase the latest results. Topics discussed will include operator algebras, the connections to random matrix theory, operator-valued and fully matricial techniques, stochastic processes, limit theorems, and free stochastic differential equations.
