Below (in latex, followed by ascii) is what is hopefully the final schedule for the Billfest. Amazingly, every speaker got a title and abstract to the AMS by the 26th. I should also mention that Beno Eckmann will be in Montreal from Sept 21-28. He will talk in the category seminar on Sept. 23 and we are trying to arrange a colloquium for Sept. 25.
