The Annual Theory Christmas Meeting will again be held in Durham, 19-21st December, hosted by the Centre for Particle Theory and organized by the IPPP. Following tradition, we use the format of three days of talks from world-class speakers reviewing the latest developments in the key areas of our subject. The Annual Theory Meeting is followed by the STFC Particle Theory Town Meeting on December 21.
