This is a preliminary schedule of the conference and it will likely change a bit. We will announce all changes.

Contributed talks are scheduled for 25 minutes. Main lectures are scheduled for 50 minutes.

All lectures and talks take place in Lindsay Auditorium (Room 281) of Sturm Hall. The auditorium is equipped with a computer projector, overhead projector, and white board (and baby grand piano). Wireless internet is provided in the lecture room for all registered participants.

See the maps and directions page for locations of all events.
