Renate Loll was co-organizer of a Gerard 't Hooft 60th birthday celebration Physics conference going on now on a pretty Dutch island
Today 15 July, Lee Smolin and Carlo Rovelli gave talks
Frank Wilczek was one of the speakers yesterday. The party lasts three days 14-16 July.

I think the usual name for this kind of conference is "[name]FEST"
like this one would be called "'t HOOFT FEST"
===============
Renate gave the opening (welcome) talk yesterday.
Later Frank Wilczek gave a talk about 3 candidates for dark matter.
I guess 't Hooft is pretty interested in Quantum Gravity because several of the talks today seem to be QG.
Tomorrow talks include some by famous string personages and by cosmologists:
David Gross, Leonard Susskind, Andrei Linde, Lawrence Krauss
there is a PDF printable version of the program incase anyone is interested.

the 't Hooft-fest venue is a beach hotel
one of the events is a barbecue, another is a picnic at the lighthouse.
