Dear colleagues,

This message is an announcement and update for the conference ``Complex Hyperbolic
Geometry and Related Topics'', in honor of Elisha Falbel on the
occasion of his 60th birthday.

There is of course a lot of uncertainty about the evolution of
sanitary conditions in the next few months! At this stage, we plan on
holding the meeting according to the planned schedule, namely during
the week Nov 9-13, 2020 at CIRM (Luminy/Marseille, France).

We plan a "hybrid" meeting, which means that it will be possible for
participants to attend the talks either in person or in a virtual
conference room; this should allow interaction between the speaker,
the audience, as well as participants in remote locations.

The original list of speakers is of course subject to change depending
on the evolution of the sanitary crisis, and it is very likely that
some of the talks will be given from remote locations.

We very much hope to have an actual audience present at CIRM (in fact
the meeting will only take place provided we get at least 25
participants present at the CIRM).

The deadline for registration has been pushed back to Sep 20, 2020,
see the conference website

     https://conferences.cirm-math.fr/2235.html#

but we urge you to register if you intend to attend to conference
either virtually or physically (provided sanitary conditions allow it,
of course).

Some support may be available to junior US-based participants, particularly women and underrepresented minorities, pending NSF approval. Please fill out the following form by September 20 if you would like to apply:

We look forward to seeing you, physically or virtually, at the conference.

On behalf of the organizing committee,

Julien Paupert

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. Announcements of individual talks and department seminars will also be rejected; https://mathseminars.org is a good option to announce for such talks. 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]
