UMass Mathematics
Department through the efforts of our AGNES co-organizer at
UMass,
Paul Hacking, and by
the
Brown University
Department of Mathematics through the efforts of our AGNES
co-organizer (and
speaker)
Dan Abramovich. The organizers are very
grateful for this essential support.

Poster: Please have a look at the
beautiful poster
created by Milena Hering.
Professional development event: There will be a
professional development event. The topic will be "transitions from
academia to the private sector". There will be a presentation by
Sorin Popescu of Renaissance Technologies.
Financial support: We will try to cover
travel costs for everyone (excluding air fares), with preference given
to junior participants. We encourage participants from the same
institution to carpool to reduce travel costs.
Graduate students who are applying for the
first time should ask their advisor to send a short email of support
(one paragraph) to one of the organizers.
Registration: The registration deadline, Friday, September
30th, has now passed.
Banquet: Due to the high number of registered participants, the organizers must ask banquet participants to register to attend the Saturday evening banquet. Registered participants are asked to confirm whether or not they will attend the banquet by completing the following
form.
The banquet will be held on Saturday evening, beginning at 6:30pm, at
Lombardi's on the Sound. A Google map with driving directions is
here. All banquet participants are strongly urged to find a spot in a car with another participant -- there will not be enough space in the shuttle for very many participants. Those participants who will ride in the shuttle should be at the shuttle pick-up spot by 5:45pm. The shuttle pick-up will be at the SAC bus loop, the loop in the middle of C4 on this
map. The shuttle will depart when full or at 6pm, whichever comes first.
Google Map: The following Google Map shows the locations of the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics, the Holiday Inn Express in Stony Brook, the Long Island Rail Road station in Stony Brook, the ferry in Port Jefferson, and the banquet site, Lombardi's on the Sound.
Parking: The main parking lot on Stony Brook's campus available for conference participants is the "H lot"; the large lot near the Earth and Space Sciences building. It is in the middle of the right side of B4 on the following parking map. Parking in this lot is free and permitted to all on Friday after 4pm and all day Saturday and Sunday. There are also a limited number of spots available in the parking lot immediately adjoining the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics, which requires an access code for entry. Please contact the organizers if you are interested in parking in one of these spots.
Shuttles: There will be limited seats on shuttles for those participants who cannot find a free seat in a carpool. The shuttle pickup times and locations are as follows.

Long Island Rail Road: Due to track work on the weekend of October 29th-30th, the schedule of LIRR trains will be different from usual. The special schedule is posted here.
Conference Hotel:
Participants who have been offered accomodation will be staying at the
Holiday Inn
Express in Stony Brook.
The hotel does have a
shuttle service to pick up and drop off guests at the Stony Brook LIRR station,
the Port Jefferson ferry, and the Islip MacArthur airport.
Nearby Restaurants: Here is a Google map showing restaurants near the hotel: the most accessible to pedestrians are Chili's and Quizno's. Here is a
Google map showing restaurants near the SCGP: the nearest are Green Cactus Grill, Centara Thai Cuisine and The Station Pizza. A bit farther, a local favorite is Mirabelle.
About AGNES
