The conference is the third in a series of four weekend annual events in Algebraic Geometry. The first two conferences in the series were held at University of Missouri - Columbia (Fall 2016) and University of Kansas (Fall 2017). The conference series provides a forum for algebraic geometers in the Midwest region to meet and discuss the recent research developments in the area.

The focus area of this conference is Arithmetic, Algebraic Cycles and Vector Bundles.
