Chicago, United States
The sixth .Astronomy conference was held at the Adler Planetarium in Chicago, the first modern planetarium in the Western Hemisphere, founded in 1930. This was a particularly significant edition: it included visitors from non-astronomy fields, supported by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, to observe and potentially replicate the .Astronomy format in their own disciplines. The event also marked a strong upward trend in diversity, building on discussions from .Astronomy 5. The Adler had established an astronomy research group and a citizen science department, making it an ideal host.
