The International Conference on p-adic Analysis is usually held every 3-4 years with the purpose of exchanging information at research level on new trends in the subject and of reporting on progress in central problems. This particular conference, held in Trento, Italy in May 1989, was dedicated to the memory of Philippe Robba, his important contributions to p-adic analysis and especially to the theory of p-adic differential equations. The conference was characterized by the discussion of numerous algebraic geometries. Rigid cohomology, D-modules and the action of Frobenius on the cohomology of curves and abelian varieties were the central themes of several contributions. A number of talks were devoted to exponential sums, a theme connecting p-adic analysis, algebraic geometry and number theory. Other themes were p-adic moduli spaces, non-Archimedean functional analysis, Barsotti-Tate groups and Drinfeld modules.
