We hope that many of you will join us for the second Mid-Atlantic Topology Conference, to be held March 12-13, 2016 at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. The conference will feature one-hour talks by:

* John Francis, Northwestern University
* David Gepner, Purdue University
* Jeremiah Heller, UIUC
* Eric Peterson, Harvard University
* Michael Shulman, University of San Diego
* Vesna Stojanoska, UIUC
* Gonçalo Tabuada, MIT
* Inna Zakharevich, University of Chicago

Registration is free, but we ask all attendees to fill out a short registration form to help us plan the weekend. Some travel and accommodation funding will be available for those without other means of support. Please apply by December 1st, 2016 if you wish to be considered for the first round of funding. We hope to offer a second round of NSF funded travel support at a later date.

The registration and funding application forms can be found on the conference website:

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 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.
