To announce a geometry or closely related conference, send the announcement (including a conference web site if possible) to [log in to unmask] In order to keep down the volume of e-mail, only TWO announcements per conference
will be approved by the moderator. The "subject" of your message should include the name of the conference and the number (first or second) of the announcement, e.g. Gauss Memorial Lectures in Geometry: Second Announcement. The announcement will be received by members of the list as a message from you exactly as you submitted it. Please check that your announcement (especially the website) is correct! Corrections will be approved only in the most critical situations, e.g. if corrected information is not available on the website.

At http://listserv.utk.edu/archives/geometry.html there are many functions available, including checking the archives since November 2005, changing your e-mail address or preferences, and joining/leaving the list.
