Academic programThe workshop will feature lectures and small working groups. On Sunday evening, there will be an orientation meeting (Cascade Room, at the dorm, 6-8 pm). During the week (Monday to Friday), the schedule will be as follows.
8:30-9:30 lecture (Savery Hall 239 )
During the coffee break on Monday, everyone not yet signed up with a particular working group will meet with Herb Clemens, to be divided up. There are two cafeteria options: one at McMahon (one of the dorms) and another in the Student Union Building ("HUB"). On Friday evening, there will be a concluding plenary meeting (Cascade room, at the dorm, 6:30-8:30 pm). There will be access to a computer lab 7-8 pm Monday to Friday, in Communications B022. There should be other e-mail access available through the libraries. (For a map of campus, click here.) LecturesThe titles are below. Click here to read the abstracts.

During the three-week conference, we will have a related talk: Miles Reid will give an expository lecture titled "K3s and Fano 3-folds, Tom and Jerry" (Tuesday, August 2, 7:30 pm, EE 105). Miles Reid is a spectacular lecturer and you are strongly encouraged to check this out. We will have a drop-in center on Tuesday and Thursday evenings during the three-week conference (Communications B006, 7-9 pm) where you are invited to come and ask questions related to the plenary lectures (no matter how seemingly simple or foundational the questions are). You can also just come to hear the answers to questions other people ask. We will have a volunteer expert on hand for most plenaries. The experts corresponding to each plenary speaker are listed below. (If you know of someone willing to volunteer for one of our empty slots, please let us know!)
