Presenting geometric morphisms by geometric morphisms
It's known that any $\infty$-topos $\mathcal{E}$ can be presented by a Quillen model category $\mathbf{E}$ that is itself a 1-topos. For instance, if $\mathcal{E}$ is a left exact localization of a ...

Does the concept of a $\infty$-category have a natural definition in the $\infty$-world?
