**************************************************************** Category Theory NovemberFest Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh Saturday - Sunday, November 14-15, 2009 **************************************************************** This is the final general announcement for the NovemberFest. Hereafter, further announcements will be sent only to those who have indicated that they plan to attend. I've just sent a notice to those individuals, so please let me know at this time if you do plan to come (and whether you would like to speak) -- especially if you did not get that email and thus are not on my mailing list. Also, there is still a room available for one person in a shared suite near the meeting, so please let me know if you still need accommodation. Here once again are the details of the meeting: ************************************************************************ **** We invite you to join us in Pittsburgh this Fall for a weekend meeting in Category Theory, a translation of the traditional OctoberFest. VENUE: The meeting will be held at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. The talks will be held on Saturday and Sunday morning, in Baker Hall A53, on the CMU campus. See the maps and travel information on the website: http://www.cmu.edu/about/visit/index.shtml REGISTRATION: There is no official registration, but please let us know (by email to awodey@cmu.edu) if you plan to attend, if possible. Those who wish to speak should inform the organizers at least one week in advance. WEBSITE: There is a rudimentary website at: http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/awodey/NovemberFest.htm More information will be posted here as the meeting draws near. TRAVEL: Air fares between Pittsburgh and Montreal/Ottawa seem to be running quite high at the moment, for some reason. We've recently had good luck booking a flight/hotel combination through priceline.com -- maybe worth a try. There is a very convenient bus between the airport and Oakland, where CMU and the hotels are located. Look for the 28X Airport Flyer stop near the taxi stand (the fare is $2.75). There is a stop at the Wyndham. SOCIAL: We will announce a meeting place for Friday evening. There will be a social event on Saturday evening. Talks will end by 1PM on Sunday. Please feel free to ask for any further information. Hoping to see many of you in Pittsburgh in November!
