This talk will describe a derivation of a conformally invariant energy for an even-dimensional submanifold of a Riemannian manifold generalizing the Willmore energy of a surface. The energy and its associated Euler-Lagrange equation both arise naturally upon considering the asymptotics of minimal submanifolds in asymptotically Poincaré-Einstein spaces associated to the background conformal manifold.
