Members of the press are invited to the world’s most prestigious mathematics conference, which will take place at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia from July 23 to July 30, 2026. Held every four years, the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) includes the announcement of the field’s top prizes — including the Fields Medals — as well as top talks from leading mathematicians on cutting-edge developments in the field.

Whoops...

• The ICM is starting next week in Philadelphia. One traditional aspect of the ICM is the announcement of the Fields Medal winners. This year there won’t be much surprise, since evidently someone found the names of the winners hidden in the website code (see here, English language news story here). It’s Yu Deng, John Pardon, Jacob Tsimerman, and Hong Wang. At least all science journalists who want to write about this now know the names, no controversies about who has embargoed information as in some past years.
