This is the second announcement of the conference Whats Next? The
mathematical legacy of Bill Thurston, to be held at Cornell University
from Monday, June 23rd - Friday, June 27th , 2014. Information about
speakers and activities can be found below the registration information.
Registration for the Conference is now open, at
http://www.math.cornell.edu/napp/thu/app1.php
Please register if you are planning to attend, so that we have an accurate
count for planning purposes. When you register you will have the option of
also registering for the conference banquet, which will be at the Statler
Hotel on June 26th, Registration for both the conference and banquet is due
by **June 1, 2014**. Due to various organizational constraints we cannot
accept late registrations.
Housing: The registration page includes a link to information about
housing. Options include campus dormitory housing and blocks of rooms in
local hotels. If you choose on campus housing you will need to register and
make payment directly via Cornell Conference Services. If you choose hotel
housing you will need to make your reservation by the date that is provided
next to the hotel of your choice.
The conference will be partially supported by the National Science
Foundation. Limited financial support will be available to help with travel
and accommodation expenses. Information on this and the form for requesting
support will be available at the registration site. The Financial Support
Request deadline is ***March 20, 2014***. Young researchers and
underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to apply.

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.
