The AGT correspondence allows us to express the topological string partition function, in a certain limit, in terms of conformal field theory quantities. The vast toolbox of CFT methods can thus be brought to bear on questions related to topological strings. In this talk, we will see how a version of quantum geometry, the idea of encoding g_s corrections in geometry, arises in this context.
