Hot Stars: Life with Circumstellar Matter

We will organize an international conference with the main focus on hot stars showing effects of the presence of circumstellar material such asspectral line emission, excess radiation in the visual and infrared regions, stellar spectrum veiling, nebulocities, brightness and spectrum variations. The classes of object include pre-main-sequence Herbig Ae/Be stars, Be stars, objects with the B[e] phenomenon, hot supergiants, Wolf-Rayet stars, Luminous Blue Variables, and planetary nebulae.
