Horizons of Descriptive Set Theory Conference 2026 ran from October 10 through October 12, 2026.

It was held at Malott Hall, 251 Malott Hall, 212 Garden Avenue, Ithaca, NY 14853.

The organizer identified mathematicians in logic and descriptive set theory as attendees.

It was most useful for logicians and descriptive set theorists, including graduate students and postdocs, since the three-day meeting honored Alexander Kechris and listed speakers such as Stevo Todorcevic, Anush Tserunyan and Benjamin Weiss from many universities. Mathematicians outside logic, dynamics and combinatorics would have gotten less from it, because the talks were specialized research lectures in one room rather than a broad program.

Mathematics conferences are very casual, and attendees usually wear jeans or slacks with a shirt or sweater. Ithaca in October is cool, so a jacket was useful for walking across campus to Malott Hall.
