Some history
The first conference dedicated exclusively to the MM and titled "The Many Aspects of Mahler's Measure" was organised 20 years ago at BIRS (Canada).
The report from the event is available online in pdf.
A few years later there was another successful workshop on the topic, "Variations on Mahler's Measure" at CIRM Luminy, see the archive copy;
then another event "Mahler Measure in Mobile" – the programme of the conference as well as pictures from it are still accessible.
There were later several workshops featuring the MM as a subtheme; there was one MM summer school; there were attempts to make another MM conference.
It finally materialises: we are happy to measure progress of recent MM developments in Nijmegen.
Citing the last passage from the 2003 BIRS report, "It is to be hoped that the research inspired by such workshops will continue to unravel the mysteries of Mahler's marvelous measure."
