We provide an introduction to the 2-representation theory of Kac-Moody algebras, starting with basic properties of nil Hecke algebras and quiver Hecke algebras, and continuing with the resulting monoidal categories, which have a geometric description via quiver varieties, in certain cases. We present basic properties of 2-representations and describe simple 2-representations, via cyclotomic quiver Hecke algebras, and through microlocalized quiver varieties.
