Practical Information
Parking
Conference participants arriving directly at the conference site are invited to park in the Visitors' Parking Lot 1, off Collins Circle, at the conference's expense.
Directions: There are two visitor parking lots off Collins Circle, 1 and 1A. Lot 1 is the first you will encounter as you go counterclockwise (the only direction allowed). You should go to Lot 1 and tell the attendant inside the booth that you are part of the Mathematics Department (updated 9/7). The attendant will either let you in or direct you to the other lot as appropriate.
Parking in this lot will be free on Saturday.

The Lecture Center is down on a lower level, by the clock tower and the main artesian fountain. It has poor cellphone reception. There are stairs (and elevators) that lead down to it.
The rooms are numbered in order. If you follow the suggested route, once you get to the Lecture Center you need to make a left to reach LC 12.

Workshop: Research Funding and Grant Writing 101
There will be a workshop during lunchtime on Saturday September 17th, led by Alan Greenleaf, about the dos and don'ts of grant preparation. Pizza will be served.
Abstract: External research funding allows mathematicians to travel to conferences to learn about the latest results, meet others in their fields and find potential collaborators. Grant travel funds can enable existing collaborations with researchers at other institutions, and stipends can give graduate students time off from teaching duties. I will discuss different types of grants and suggest some do’s and don’ts of proposal writing.
Conference Dinner
The conference dinner will be on Friday September 16th, starting at 7:30pm. It will be held at the Albany Pump Station (map). At the reception, ask for the NAN 2022 party.

Deadline: September 9th
In order to qualify for financial support (for junior participants) or to attend the conference dinner, you need to register by Friday September 9th.
Fairfield Inn Albany University Area, located across the street from the conference site (the university), has agreed to set aside 50 rooms at a special conference rate of $109/night.
Update 9/8: The reservation link seems to be working improperly. Instead, participants are invited to call the hotel at +1 518-435-1800, mention that they are from UAlbany Mathematics, and ask for the group rate of $109/night.
The reservation link is here: link.
The last day to book rooms at this rate through the link is Friday September 9th, 2022.
