It is shown how the extended conformal Einstein field equations and a gauge based on the properties of conformal geodesics can be used to analyse the non-linear stability of Einstein spaces with negative scalar curvature. This class of spacetimes admits a smooth conformal extension with a spacelike conformal boundary. Central to the analysis is the use of conformal Gaussian systems to obtain a hyperbolic reduction of the conformal Einstein field equations for which standard Cauchy stability results for symmetric hyperbolic systems can be employed. The use of conformal methods allows to rephrase the question of global existence of solutions to the Einstein field equations into considerations of finite existence time for the conformal evolution system.
