22nd Annual Geometry Festival
University of Maryland
College Park, MD
Friday April 27 - Sunday April 29, 2007
Everyone is invited to the Geometry Festival, and graduate
students are especially encouraged to attend. A
continuing
grant from the National Science Foundation 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 7:00 PM at the Garden Restaurant of the
Inn and Conference Center. The banquet fee will
be $35 for faculty and guests, $15 for graduate students.

When you do so, you can apply for financial support.
Funding priority will be given to graduate students
and to junior faculty without their own grant support.
- There will be a conference registration fee of $35 for faculty
and $15 for graduate students, to be collected on arrival. The registration
fee will help pay for such items as snacks and coffee breaks, etc.
Anyone is eligible to apply for financial support.
Funding priority will be given to graduate students
and to junior faculty without their own grant support. Attendees
requesting financial support are encouraged to share a hotel room; when
provided, support will cover ½ the cost of a single room or
one person's share of a room occupied by two conference attendees.
- You can see the registered
list of participants here.
- How to get to the University of Maryland. Important note: Saturday, April 28th, is Maryland Day, the University's
annual community open house celebration. Thus shuttle buses
will take people around the campus, but parking on campus will be very
difficult. The Maryland Day website will provide more parking
and transportation information as the date of the Festival approaches.
-
The conference is supported by the Department of Mathematics, University
of Maryland, and by the National Science Foundation, Grant number
DMS-0406248.
