22nd ANNUAL GEOMETRY FESTIVAL
            University of Maryland
            College Park, MD
            Friday April 27 - Sunday April 29, 2007

The 22nd Annual Geometry Festival will be held at the
Department of Mathematics of the University of Maryland,
from Friday afternoon April 27 to Sunday noon, April 29, 2007.

Everyone is invited to the Geometry Festival, and graduate
students are especially encouraged to attend.  A continuing
grant from the National Science Foundation makes it possible
for us to partially reimburse the expenses of a large number
of graduate students, post-docs and younger faculty who do not
have access to travel funds from other sources.  A substantial
portion of this funding can be committed in advance, and
experience shows that additional funds for this purpose are
usually available after conference expenses have been met.

Visit the Geometry Festival website

for current information.  You can also access the site
by going to the Maryland Math Department home page at

and clicking on the link to the Geometry Festival.

Please visit the web site for the usual conference information,
in particular:
    The list of speakers and detailed schedule, when available.
    Registration and financial support.
    The Saturday night banquet.
    Accomodations...we are holding blocks of rooms at several hotels.
    A list of participants will be posted approximately one week
    before the beginning of the conference.
    The web site will remain in place after the Geometry Festival
    is over, so that you can refer to it for information about,
    and links to, future Festivals.

This message was sent to you via the Geometry List, which announces conferences in geometry and closely related areas to over 1100 mathematicians worldwide.

Before sending an announcement, please carefully read the following. To announce a geometry or closely related conference, send the announcement (including a conference web site if possible) to [log in to unmask] The moderator cannot edit your message; list members will receive the announcement as an e-mail from you EXACTLY as you submitted it. For example, if your submission starts with "Please post this on the geometry list" then your conference anouncement will also begin with that statement.  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. 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. If you send a submission from an e-mail address that is not subscribed to the geometry list then you will be sent an e-mail asking for confirmation. This feature is designed to thwart the hundreds of machine-generated spam that are sent to the list and would otherwise have to be manually blocked by the moderator.

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. If you have problems that cannot be resolved at this website, send a message to [log in to unmask]

The Geometry List is sponsored and maintained by the Mathematics Department, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
