Black hole thermodynamics has been called the most important available window into the nature of quantum gravity. Over the years, thermodynamics has become ubiquitous in the study of gravity. It also influenced many areas of research extending far beyond its initial scope, including local symmetries and conserved quantities, energy conditions, semiclassical gravity, analogue gravity, and relativistic quantum information. At the same time, many of the fundamental questions posed at the inception of gravitational thermodynamics remain without widely accepted answers. Our workshop aims to provide a venue for discussing this fascinating field in a relaxed environment.
