-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Category Theory OctoberFest McGill University, Montreal Saturday - Sunday, October 16 - 17, 2004 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We invite you to join us in Montreal next October for a weekend meeting in Category Theory, the "not-quite-annual" OctoberFest. As has been the tradition with these meetings, we invite talks from all participants. If you wish to give a talk, send your request along with a short abstract (before the end of September please) to Robert Seely at the address below. The final schedule of talks will be handed out at the meeting, but a provisional schedule will be made available, if possible, before the meeting. Details are still being worked out, but we hope that the talks will be held in Burnside Hall, 805 Sherbrooke West, starting on Saturday morning, October 16th. Coffee will be available from 8:30 am. The first talk will be at 9:00. Registration will take place during the morning, before the first talk and during the first coffee break. There will be a registration fee: we are currently estimating $CAN60 ($US50), discounted to $CAN30 ($US25) for students. (No promises! but if we can reduce this we shall, and if we need to increase it, we'll do that instead!) We are planning a dinner/party on Saturday evening, also in Burnside Hall. (Details will be announced at the meeting.) Please let us know if you intend to join us by sending a short email (before the end of September if possible) to Robert Seely, also indicating whether or not you will bring a guest to the party. (We would like to have a good estimate of how many people will attend the party about a week before the meeting.) A list of hotels and B&B style accomodation will be posted soon, as well as an updated notice of the details of our plans. In the meantime, if you have any further questions, please contact one of us.
