For a while, me, Dan Browne and Michael have been planning a conference on Fault-Tolerance theory that is happening next year in Benasque, Spain. We are happy to be announcing it this week, and below is a short blurb and poster

A two week conference on Fault-Tolerant Quantum Technologies held at the Centro de Ciencias de Benasque Pedro Pascual in Benasque, Spain. The workshop will host a small number of morning talks reporting the latest advances while providing ample free time for researchers to exchange ideas and strike up new collaborations.
