Principal Speakers
The conference is supported by the Journal of Differential Geometry, Lehigh University, and the NSF. Limited travel support is available, and the priority will be given to recent PhD's, current graduate students and members of underrepresented groups. Participants interested in being considered for this support should complete the request for travel support form no later than October 18, 2019.
