Category Theory OctoberFest McGill University, Montreal Saturday - Sunday, October 16 - 17, 2004 Second Notice We repeat our earlier invitation to join us in Montreal for this weekend meeting. At this time, we would like to encourage all interested participants to let us know AS SOON AS POSSIBLE of your intention to attend - we are at the point where we need to make some significant financial decisions, and it would be reassuring to know at least roughly what the attendance might be. We also hope to make this meeting as "student-friendly" as possible, within the time constraints of a day-and-a-half meeting. Any concrete suggestions are welcome, but we hope at least to be able to make time for some specifically student sessions - both for talks given by students, and perhaps for either tutorial or Q&A sessions. In particular, if you are (or have) a student who wishes to give a talk, please let us know as soon as you can. Some hotel suggestions are made below - note that for some of the major hotels, you will need to specifically ask for the McGill rate, and in some cases even provide a code (as specified below). Let me know if you need some help. The first notice, updated to include this information, is available on the triples website: http://www.math.mcgill.ca/triples/octoberfest04.html ................................ Hotels: (all about $CAN 110, possibly more if you want a double) We have some "deals" with major hotels near McGill - you ought to book these early, and mention that you are attending a mathematics conference at McGill.
