The author gives criteria for a geometric structure to be maximal, in the sense that any geometric embedding of this structure must be onto. As an application, he provides several classes of geometrically maximal structures, especially in the realm of conformal geometry, Cartan geometries and strictly pseudoconvex CR-structures.
