The K-theory Foundation is a non-profit corporation that seeks to promote research and scholarship in the mathematics related to K-theory. It organizes a K-theory conference every 4 years, to coincide with the ICM. On this occasion, the K-theory conference was a 2 week event,  consisting of a school followed by a workshop. The school took place at the University of La Plata, from  July 16 to July 20, and the workshop in the University of Buenos Aires, from July 23 to July 27. The whole event was an official ICM2018 Satellite event.

The K-theory prizes, meant to highlight the achievements of the most deserving mathematicians working in K-theory and related fields, are presented in these quadrennial conferences. For more information on the prizes go here.
