TeV Particle Astrophysics (TeVPA) is an international conference that covers the most recent advances in the field of Particle Astrophysics. This year, TeVPA returned to Chicago for the first time since its inaugural edition that I organised back in 2005 at Fermilab, together with a group of brilliant colleagues.

TeVPA 2024 featured a rich program, with morning plenary sessions, and afternoon parallels covering topics such as cosmic ray physics, gamma-ray astronomy, neutrino astronomy, cosmology, direct and indirect searches for dark matter, gravitational waves, and their connection to particle physics.

I was honored to deliver the final Summary Talk—a challenging yet rewarding task given the 25 plenary talks, 275 parallel session presentations, over 80 hours of scientific discussions, and more than 10,000 slides presented (not to mention the 15 hours of discussions over coffee, meals, and drinks!). During the talk, I reflected on the evolution of the field since 2005—what has changed and what has remained constant.
