http://www.math.uic.edu/~jaca2009/

TOPICS: This five day conference is in honor of Anatoly Libgober's
60th birthday.  Topics include the interplay between the global and
local topology of singular varieties, braid monodromy, fundamental
groups, Alexander invariants, local systems, mirror symmetry, toric
geometry, characteristic classes, and Hodge-type invariants.

For further information, conference registration, and deadlines for
abstracts of posters and short communications, go to the conference
homepage.  Some NSF travel support is available to students and
postdocs.  Please include the request in your registration or contact
one of the organizers.

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.
