DESCRIPTION:Conformal higher-spin gravity is a higher-spin extension of We
 yl gravity. Despite being non-unitary\, it provides a remarkable example o
 f a local\, consistent\, interacting higher-spin theory around a flat back
 ground\, admitting a rather simple definition. Accordingly\, it will be re
 viewed without assuming any prior knowledge of higher-spin theories. A lis
 t of some recent results and open problems will conclude the presentation.
