I will explain how moduli spaces of quadratic differentials on Riemann surfaces can be interpreted as spaces of stability conditions for certain 3-Calabi-Yau triangulated categories. These categories are defined via quivers with potentials, but can also be interpreted as Fukaya categories. This work (joint with Ivan Smith) was inspired by the papers of Gaiotto, Moore and Neitzke, but connections with hyperkahler metrics, Fock-Goncharov coordinates etc. will not be covered in this talk.
