Saturday meetings and presentations, except for the invited address, will take place in Swart Hall.
“Face-Off!”, our game show for teams of undergraduates, will start at 5:30 on Friday. Please see the "Face Off" link for more information. The banquet will follow Face-Off.
Many of the speakers who have already submitted proposals have indicated that their talks will be appropriate for undergraduate students, and we also will have talks by students. Please make sure your students know they will be welcome and will find much of interest, and also encourage them to submit talks!
