The "Bright Emissaries" conference is dedicated to all observational and theoretical aspects of Be stars and related objects, with a focus on the insight these systems provide on the physics of the underlying stars, disks, and their interactions.

The conference will be organized around invited and contributed talks, with several opportunities for open discussion. Young researchers, post-docs, and PhD students, in particular, are encouraged to attend and present their on-going research.
