Tentative Schedule

This is our tentative schedule of speakers, along with titles and links to abstracts.

Informal Dinner

We are trying to put together an informal group dinner for Saturday evening, more or less immediately following the afternoon session. We have reserved a private room at the Bangkok Cafe, which is a Thai restaurant recommended to us by a local mathematician. Anyone who plans to attend the session is welcome to join us for dinner, but please contact either of the organizers so we can get a reasonably accurate head count. We currently have reserved the room starting at 6:15PM, with a guess of 20-25 people, but have no plans to make specific menu selections, provide transportation, or get involved with handling money.

Listings for Job Seekers

This is a place where those seeking employment can add a very brief biography, along with a link to a personal website with more information about their work and interests. Feel free to send comments (to Mark) or ask to be added if you will be seeking employment in algebraic topology sometime in the next few years.
