Time Domain Astronomy in the High Redshift Universe

The high redshift Universe (z > 6) encompasses the time when Hydrogen was re-ionized, when the first generation of stars were born, lived and died, and when the first black holes were formed and began growing into Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). This early period is expected to be rich with time variable objects including Supernovae, Gamma-Ray Bursts, Quasars and Black Hole Mergers. This Conference on Time Domain Astronomy in the High Redshift Universe will explore the required observational capabilities to study high redshift transients and how their multi-messenger studies can be used as probes of the formation of the modern Universe.
