Dear Colleagues,

We hope you will join us for the 55th annual Cornell Topology Festival, which will be held 
Friday, May 10th - Sunday, May 12th, 2019.  The program will feature several one-hour talks 
and much opportunity for conversation.   The meeting will begin with workshop talks aimed at 
introducing some of the main themes of the conference.  The invited speakers will also 
participate in a panel discussion on recent developments in topology and related fields.  Social 
activities will include dinner Friday, May 10th, two working luncheons, and a picnic on 
Saturday.

Financial support towards travel and accommodation expenses may be available.  Early-career 
mathematicians and those from underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to apply.

Speakers will include:
Jonathan Barmak, Universidad de Buenos Aires
Ruth Charney, Brandeis University
Steve Ferry, Rutgers University and Binghamton University
Dave Futer, Temple University
Anthony Genevois, Universitè d’Orsay
Chris Kapulkin, University of Western Ontario
Alexander Kupers, Harvard University
Mona Merling, Johns Hopkins University
Alan Reid, Rice University
Inna Zakharevich, Cornell University

This message was sent to you via the Geometry List, which announces conferences in geometry and closely related areas to over 1600 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. After submitting an announcement you may receive a message asking you to confirm your submission. 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. If you do not see your announcement within 48 hours, please check the archives to see whether it was actually posted (i.e. you somehow missed seeing the post or are not subscribed with your current email address). If the announcement is not in the archive, search for a confirmation message that you may have missed (from listserv.utk.edu). If none of this solves the mystery, send a message to [log in to unmask]
