Hello!

This year we (A. Christian, J. Etnyre, J. Hom, M. Kuzbary, B. Liu, D. Margalit, and J. Simone) are running a topology conference at Georgia Tech. It will be held Dec 10 to 12, and the speakers are

            • Ursula Hamenstädt (Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn)
            • Kristen Hendricks (Rutgers University) 
            • Andras Juhasz (University of Oxford)
            • Beibei Liu (Georgia Institute of Technology)
            • Marissa Loving (Georgia Institute of Technology) 
            • Yair Minsky (Yale University)
            • Vera Vértesi (University of Vienna)

You can find out more at

The conference will be online (see the website for more information about the schedule) but we still hope to have a lot of interaction between participants. If you are interested in attending please let us know (by registering on the website) so we can add you to the participants' page and include you in e-mails about the conference. 

We will be continuing to have lightning talks. These are five-minute talks about the work of grad students or beginning mathematicians. They are designed to advertise the work of beginning researchers to a broad audience. So if you would be interested in talking about your work please apply to give a talk. (The deadline for this is also November 5.) This year the lightning talks will be pre-recorded and during the conference, there will be time set aside for people to talk with the lightning speakers in breakout rooms. 

Best Regards,
Beibei Liu (for the organizing committee)
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This message was sent to you via the Geometry List, which announces conferences in geometry and closely related areas to over 1800 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.

You are strongly encouraged to provide essential information such as dates and location near the top of the body of your message, and not require someone to visit your conference link to find it.

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].
