This is an announcement of a conference this year entitled "Combinatorics around the q-Onsager algebra." At the conference we will be celebrating the 65th birthday of Paul Terwilliger.  This conference will take place in beautiful Kranjska Gora, Slovenia, on the dates July 13-18, 2020.

The general theme of this conference will be the mathematical topics that Paul has worked on over the years (which all have relationships to the q-Onsager algebra).  These topics include the following:

Topics in algebraic graph theory, such as distance-regular graphs, association schemes, the subconstituent algebra, and the Q-polynomial property;
Topics in linear algebra, such as Leonard pairs, tridiagonal pairs, billiard arrays, lowering-raising triples, and a linear algebraic approach to the orthogonal polynomials of the Askey scheme;
Topics in Lie theory, such as the tetrahedron algebra and the Onsager algebra;
Topics in algebras and their representations, such as the equitable presentation of U_q(sl_2), the q-tetrahedron algebra, the q-Onsager algebra in mathematical physics, and the universal Askey-Wilson algebra.
This will be a satellite conference of the European Congress of Mathematics, which will be held the prior week in Portorož, Slovenia (https://www.8ecm.si).
