• •We briefly introduce the history of the International Conference on Mars Polar Science and Exploration.•We define five high level questions and 29 objectives for the Mars polar community and detail how the objectives intertwine.•We describe advancements in polar science since the previous meeting and discuss topics requiring further study. We provide a historical context of the International Conference on Mars Polar Science and Exploration and summarize the proceedings from the 6th iteration of this meeting. In particular, we identify five key Mars polar science questions based primarily on presentations and discussions at the conference and discuss the overlap between some of those questions. We briefly describe the seven scientific field trips that were offered at the conference, which greatly supplemented conference discussion of Mars polar processes and landforms. We end with suggestions for measurements, modeling, and laboratory and field work that were highlighted during conference discussion as necessary steps to address key knowledge gaps.
