Dear Colleagues,

The 10th Physics and Astrophysics at the eXtreme workshop (PAX X) and the 3rd Cosmic Explorer Symposium will be held jointly at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign from 30 June – 3 July 2025. The Cosmic Explorer Symposium will bring together the community to discuss important aspects of the design and operations of the Cosmic Explorer gravitational-wave observatories, covering both observational and instrument science. The PAX-X workshop will explore how the ongoing and upcoming observations of gravitational and electromagnetic waves can help us understand physics at the extreme — strong gravitational fields, dark matter, nuclear physics, cosmology, and multimessenger astrophysics.  
 
Panels will be organized around a small number of presentations to identify important areas for research and foster discussions and community feedback. 
 
The registration is now open and will remain open until May 1, 2025.

Important: The maximum number of participants is 200. There is a registration fee of $61, and an optional fee of $55 to attend the conference dinner.
 
We look forward to welcoming you in Urbana-Champaign. 
 
Best wishes, 
Helvi Witek
