+**Abstract:**
+Cube complexes have come to play an increasingly central role within geometric group theory, as
+their connection to right-angled Artin groups provides a powerful combinatorial bridge between
+geometry and algebra. This talk will describe the developments in this theory that have recently
+culminated in the resolution of the virtual Haken conjecture for 3-manifolds, and simultaneously
+dramatically extended our understanding of many infinite groups.
