DESCRIPTION:Attempts to formulate supersymmetric field theories on discret
 e spacetime lattices have a long history. However\, until recently most of
  these efforts have failed. In this talk I will review some of the new ide
 as that have finally allowed a solution to this problem for certain supers
 ymmetric theories. I will focus my attention\, in particular\, on N=4 supe
 r Yang-Mills which forms one of the pillars of the AdSCFT correspondence c
 onnecting gravitational theories in anti-deSitter space to gauge theories 
 living on the boundary. It is also integral to the scattering amplitudes p
 rogram and is under intensive study using conformal bootstrap techniques. 
 I will review the theoretical construction of the model and describe what 
 is known analytically about the lattice theory. Following on from this I w
 ill present preliminary results stemming from the first large scale lattic
 e study of N=4 Yang-Mills.
