This conference series reviews progress in understanding the physics of the 5th quark (beauty quark or bottom quark) and the properties of particles containing a b-quark. These quarks are produced at particle accelerators such as electron-positron accelerators or hadron colliders with the latter being the focus of the conference. One of the main issues in understanding the physics of the 5th quark is CP violation, a mechanism in particle physics that breaks the symmetry of nature between particles and antiparticles ultimately connected to the particle-antiparticle asymmetry of the universe. Topics include: recent results, CP violation, B production and spectroscopy, detectors, hardware, and computing, Vucb, Vub, and factorization, B lifetimes and mixing, rare decays, B trigger at future experiments, B physics at future hadron machines, the future of flavor.
