Cayley submanifolds in Spin(7) geometry are an analogue and generalisation of complex submanifolds in Kähler geometry. In this talk we provide a glimpse into calibrated geometry, which encompasses both of these, and how it ties into the study of manifolds of special holonomy. We then focus on the deformation theory of compact and conically singular Cayleys. Finally we explain how to remove conical singularities via a gluing construction.
