23rd ANNUAL GEOMETRY FESTIVAL
Duke University
Durham, NC
Friday, April 25 - Sunday, April 27, 2008

The 23rd Annual Geometry Festival, hosted by Duke and UNC, will be held at the 
Department of Mathematics at Duke University from Friday, April 25 to Sunday, 
April 27, 2008. 

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. 

The Geometry Festival website is at

http://www.math.duke.edu/conferences/geomfest08/

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.

    Accommodations...we are holding a block of rooms at a conveniently located 
hotel within walking distance. 

    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.

The organizing committee is Hubert Bray, Benoit Charbonneau, Patrick 
Eberlein, and Richard Hain.  Please direct inquiries to Hubert Bray at

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]
