The 2022 annual meeting of the Simons Collaboration on Special Holonomy in Geometry, Analysis, and Physics will highlight and explain the progress in our knowledge of spaces with special holonomy that has been made in recent years by the Collaboration, focusing on the construction of new examples and the definition of geometric invariants that distinguish such structures when they are defined on the same underlying manifold; the increasing role of solitons and limits of Ricci-flat spaces; moduli spaces and BPS invariants; and connections with physics, particularly the new areas of higher form symmetries. We will also describe goals of our continuing research program as well as the challenges that lie ahead.
