42nd Western Number Theory Conference
Monday, December 15--Thursday, December 18, 2008
Department of Mathematics
Colorado State University
Fort Collins, CO
We'll start with an opening banquet on Monday, December 15, at 7PM, at Bisettis. After dinner (about 8:30), conference participants will submit titles for their talks. These will then be assembled into a schedule for the next three days. If you can't attend the banquet and meeting, no problem; just email your title ahead of time to the conference organizer.
Talks (of 15 or 20 minutes) will run on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, with a half-day off on Wednesday afternoon. While you're welcome to stay as long as you like, you can probably leave Friday morning, or Thursday after 8pm, without missing any talks.
There will be problem sessions on Tuesday and Thursday after the talks, and a business meeting on Thursday afternoon. (On the agenda for the Thursday meeting is where to hold the conference in 2010 -- please consider hosting it!)
Registration for the conference is $50, and covers the costs of coffee breaks and facilities rentals. The opening banquet is an additional $25. Preregistration is mandatory if you're planning to attend the banquet.
From DIA, you can rent a car and drive; it takes a little over an hour to drive to Fort Collins. Alternatively, you can take the Shamrock Shuttle; the hotels, university and downtown are all mutually walkable, so you won't need a car. More details are available from Colorado State University.
