Various studies of the last few decades have revealed that the boundary of spacetime, in particular in the context of gauge and gravity theories, carries a very rich structure and important information about the dynamics. The purpose of the present workshop is to stimulate discussion on the recent developments in boundary/asymptotic symmetries, especially in the context of gravity theories in connection with black hole microstates and entropy, the information problem, the soft hair proposal, boundary thermodynamics, celestial holography and memory effects.
