Some methods of the ``unfolded dynamics'' machinery particularly useful for the analysis of higher spin gauge theories are summarized. A formulation of 4d conformal higher spin theories in Sp(8) invariant space-time with matrix coordinates and its extension to Sp(2M) invariant space-times are discussed. A new result on the global characterizaton of causality of physical events in the Sp(2M) invariant space-time is announced.
