Boise Extravaganza in Set Theory

We are pleased to announce that the 2021 Boise Extravaganza in Set Theory will take place online during June 17–19, 2021.

Slides from the talks

BEST is an international conference featuring talks on a broad range of recent advances in research in set theory and related fields. Researchers from all areas of set theory and logic are welcome. BEST particularly aims to support the careers of young researchers. The conference is organized by the Set Theory group at Boise State University.
