Bers 100 and Iberoamerican congress on geometry, City University of New York, Graduate Center, May 19-22, 2014. The Bers 100 celebration, an informal meeting to observe the 100th anniversary of his birth, will begin at 1pm on Monday, May 19, 2014 and will immediately be followed by the sixth Iberoamerican congress on geometry, May 20-22, 2014. Invited Bers 100 speakers: Yair Minsky (Yale University) and Dennis Sullivan (CUNY Graduate Center and Stony Brook University). Other events to be planned. Invited Iberoamerican congress on geometry speakers: Ian Agol (University of California, Berkeley), Moira Chas (Stony Brook University), Nuria Fagella (University of Barcelona), Jeremy Kahn (City University of New York, Graduate Center), Sarah Koch (University of Michigan), Maryam Mirzakhani (Stanford University), Christian Schnell (Stony Brook University), Ignacio Sols (Universidad Complutense of Madrid), and Juan Souto (University of British Columbia). Both meetings will take place at the City University of New York, Graduate Center. This will be the sixth Iberoamerican congress on Geometry. In previous years the congress was held at Olmue, Chile (1998), Guanajuato, Mexico (2001), Salamanca, Spain (2004), Ouro Preto, Brazil (2007), and Pucon, Chile (2010). The website for both events is: http://fsw01.bcc.cuny.edu/zhe.wang/IB.html. Pre/registration for Bers 100 will help determine its program- write to Ara Basmajian, Jozek Dodziuk, Linda Keen, or Irwin Kra with suggestions. Scientific Committee for the Iberoamerican congress: Ara Basmajian, Laura DeMarco, Linda Keen, Irwin Kra, Yair Minsky, Jose Maria Munoz Porras, and Rubi Rodriguez. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 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.
