contents Finding a concrete example holography in four dimensional asymptotically flat space is an important open problem. A natural strategy is to take the flat space limit of the celebrated AdS$_4$/CFT$_3$ correspondence, which relates M-theory in AdS$_4 \times$S$^7$ to a certain superconformal Chern-Simons-matter theory known as the ABJM theory. In this limit, the boundary of AdS$_4$ becomes null infinity and the ABJM theory should exhibit an emergent superconformal Carrollian symmetry. We investigate this possiblity by matching the Carrollian limit of ABJM correlators with four-dimensional supergravity amplitudes that arise from taking the flat space limit of AdS$_4 \times$S$^7$ and reducing along the S$^7$. We also present a general analysis of three-dimensional superconformal Carrollian symmetry.
