Dear Friends,
It is my pleasure to ask you to forward the following announcement to your
departments, that the
23rd ANNUAL GEOMETRY FESTIVAL
hosted by Duke University and UNC will take place at
Duke University, Durham, NC (airport code: RDU)
from
Friday, April 25 to Sunday, April 27, 2008.
Our confirmed speakers for the event are
Michael Anderson (SUNY at Stony Brook)
Robert Bryant (MSRI, on leave from Duke)
Greg Galloway (University of Miami)
Marcus Khuri (SUNY at Stony Brook)
John Lott (University of Michigan)
Duong Phong (Columbia University)
William Minicozzi (Johns Hopkins University)
Jeff Viaclovsky (University of Wisconsin, Madison)
Registration for the Geometry Festival and additional details are available at
http://www.math.duke.edu/conferences/geomfest08/
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.
Please visit the web site for the usual conference information, in particular:
Registration and financial support.
The Saturday night banquet.
Accommodations...we are holding a block of rooms at a conveniently
located hotel within walking distance.
See you there!
Best Regards,
Hubert Bray
p.s.
The organizing committee is Hubert Bray, Benoit Charbonneau, Patrick Eberlein,
and Richard Hain. Please direct inquiries to Hubert Bray or Benoit Charbonneau

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.
