We report on the third joint Australia–ESO conference since the commencement of the strategic partnership between Australia and ESO. The conference was supported by ESO, the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for All Sky Astrophysics in 3 Dimensions (ASTRO 3D), the Australian National University, and the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research. The meeting focused on new results from ongoing surveys and simulations of galaxies and their evolution. The motivations for upcoming facilities such as the Multi-conjugate adaptive optics-Assisted Visible Imager and Spectrograph (MAVIS), the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), Vera C. Rubin Observatory, and the Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope and the new science opportunities and collaborations that they will enable were discussed. The meeting achieved a gender-balanced participant list and strove to provide an inclusive environment. It was a pleasure to share science again in person since the last joint Australia–ESO conference in February 2020. While there was some flexibility for inclusion purposes, the meeting prioritised in-person attendance with only five remote talks.
