We are pleased to announce a conference on "WISE at 5: Legacy and Prospects" to be held February 10-12, 2015, at the Beckman Institute Auditorium of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. The conference will celebrate what has been done with WISE, what is being done with NEOWISE, and what will be done in the future. NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) was launched into orbit 5 years ago, and surveyed the entire mid-infrared sky in 2010. The satellite resumed surveying as NEOWISE in December 2013, and by the time of the conference will be on its fifth pass over the sky. Over 1,000 refereed papers based on the data have now been published, with results ranging from the discovery of the first Earth Trojan asteroid, to challenging the standard paradigm for quasar unification.
