Dear Friends,

It is my pleasure to ask you to forward the following announcement to 
your departments, that the

      27th ANNUAL GEOMETRY FESTIVAL

hosted by Duke University and UNC will take place at

      Duke University, Durham, NC  (airport code:  RDU)

from

      Friday, April 27 - Sunday, April 29, 2012.

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

	http://www.math.duke.edu/conferences/geomfest12/

will be up and running later this month.

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
		nice hotels.

	A list of participants will be posted approximately one week
		before the beginning of the conference.

Geometry Festival Organizing Committee:  Hubert Bray, Carla Cederbaum, 
Luca DiCerbo, Pat Eberlein, Lenny Ng, Mark Stern

This message was sent to you via the Geometry List, which announces conferences in geometry and closely related areas to over 1200 mathematicians worldwide.

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]

Before sending an announcement, please carefully read the following. Any announcements that are *not* about conferences (e.g. those about jobs, journals, books, etc.) will be rejected by the moderator without comment. 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 announcement 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.

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