A constant theme in the research of Victor Klee and Branko Grunbaum has been the discovery and development of surprising and powerful connections between combinatorics and discrete geometry and other branches of mathematics. This conference is aimed to be both a retrospective on these developments and an educational opportunity for the younger generation who will be exposed to a survey of the wide-spread contributions of the honorees. A second important component of the conference will be three 1-2 hour long problem sessions spread through the three days that will discuss open problems arising from the work of Klee and Grunbaum.Victor Klee and Branko Grunbaum founded several branches of modern combinatorics and discrete geometry and spent their long careers (a total of 100 years between them) at the University of Washington in Seattle. Their contributions has also made an impact on several areas connected to mathematics such as optimization, computer science, statistics, and the life sciences. This conference is intended to be a world class celebration of the illustrious careers of these mathematical giants.

维克多·克利（Victor Klee）和布兰科·格伦鲍姆（Branko Grunbaum）研究的一个不变主题是发现和发展组合数学和离散几何以及其他数学分支之间令人惊讶和强大的联系。 这次会议的目的既是对这些发展的回顾，也是对年轻一代的教育机会，他们将有机会了解获奖者广泛贡献的调查。会议的第二个重要组成部分是为期三天的三场 1-2 小时长的问题会议，讨论 Klee 和 Grunbaum 工作中出现的开放性问题。Victor Klee 和 Branko Grunbaum 创立了现代组合学和离散几何的几个分支他们在西雅图的华盛顿大学度过了漫长的职业生涯（总共100年）。 他们的贡献还对与数学相关的多个领域产生了影响，例如优化、计算机科学、统计学和生命科学。这次会议旨在成为这些数学巨人辉煌职业生涯的世界级庆祝活动。
