The Organizing Committee consists of:
Scott Wolpert (Chair), Jonathan Rosenberg,Yanir Rubinstein, and Richard Wentworth.
More information about the Geometry Festival may be found at the conference website,
http://www-math.umd.edu/research/conferences/geometry-festival.html.
A detailed schedule and housing and registration information will be
posted there closer to the date of the conference.
The University of Maryland is located in the suburbs of Washington, DC, and is easily accessible via Washington Metrorail from downtown Washington and from Reagan National Airport. The university is also close to the New Carrollton AMTRAK rail station. The closest airport is BWI Marshall Airport, from which there is regular ground transportation. See the website for more information about how to get to the University of Maryland mathematics department and for driving and parking information. The conference will begin Friday afternoon and conclude Sunday around noon.
Graduate students and post-docs in all areas of geometry, including geometric topology and geometric analysis, are especially encouraged to attend. A continuing grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF grant DMS-1010788) 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.
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.

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.
