In the present paper, degeneration phenomena in conformal field theories are studied. For this purpose, a notion of convergent sequences of CFTs is introduced. Properties of the resulting limit structure are used to associate geometric degenerations to degenerating sequences of CFTs, which, as familiar from large volume limits of non-linear sigma models, can be regarded as commutative degenerations of the corresponding ``quantum geometries''. As an application, the large level limit of the A-series of unitary Virasoro minimal models is investigated in detail. In particular, its geometric interpretation is determined.

    Exact infrared solutions for surface criticalities in the Gross-Neveu-Yukawa model encode fermionic anomalies in surface dynamics and reveal emergent structures linked to a defect version of the CFT distance conjecture.
