In association with the Physics Department at Sam Houston State University, the 2024 Mitchell Conference on Collider, Dark Matter, and Neutrino Physics will be held from May 23-26 at the George P. and Cynthia Woods Mitchell Institute for Fundamental Physics and Astronomy, Texas A&M University. The conference will focus on recent developments in the fields of collider, dark matter, and neutrino physics. The conference will be attended by experimental and theoretical experts from these fields, and plenty of time will be allocated for interaction, discussion, and collaboration. This workshop is funded in part by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.
