Past Events

Items marked [NEW!]

have been recently added or modified; however, I typically do not mark events that have moved here after expiring from the upcoming events page. Items marked

require a frames-capable browser.

The annotations MathSciNet, HBP, DB&LP, Search, ACM, and CSBib indicate bibliographies or search pages for conference proceedings that are part of a larger bibliography collection. These annotations are explained on a separate web page. Most of these conference proceedings are also (at least partially) indexed in the Geometry Literature Database.

Upcoming events and submission deadlines are listed chronologically on another Web page.
