Sven Friedemann, Stephen Clark, and Chris Bell from the CDT-CMP together with Phil King from CM-CDT, organised the first annual conference bringing together the UK community in the fields of condensed matter physics. This two-day meeting was supported by the IOP Low Temperature, Magnetism and Superconductivity Groups and was held in the School of Chemistry at the University of Bristol.

The focus was on new developments in the fields of hard electronic condensed matter, encompassing superconductivity, magnetism, 2D materials, strong spin-orbit systems and beyond.

Invited speakers included, Prof. Jean-Marc Triscone (University of Geneva, Switzerland), Prof. Peter Hatton (Durham University, UK), Prof. jenny Hoffman (The University of Bristish Columbia, Canada) and Prof. Marcus Garst (Technical University Dresden, Germany).
