DESCRIPTION:New strongly-coupled confining dark sectors have found applica
 tion throughout numerous areas of particle physics\, extending from dark m
 atter itself\, to theories that address the hierarchy problem\, to providi
 ng a vast array of new collider signals.  I'll provide an overview of the
  theory space\, the dark matter candidates\, and then discuss some very si
 mple theories that have surprising dark matter and collider physics proper
 ties.  The elastic scattering cross section for direct detection experime
 nts can be highly suppressed for dark baryons due to the structure of theo
 ry and the symmetries that survive confinement.  Dark mesons can be stron
 gly constrained by disappearing track searches as well as resonant product
 ion and decay\, the latter arising because of a global-gauge-gauge anomaly
  that was not previously recognized.  Time permitting\, I'll briefly disc
 uss other surprises and connect to some of the open questions that remain.
