Abstracts are being accepted for MCAG 2012.
MCAG: Michigan Computational Algebraic Geometry is a one day workshop organized every Spring in one of the Michigan universities as a collaboration between researchers and companies in Michigan.
MCAG has two plenary talks and 10-12 other talks. The theme of the conference is decided by the local organizers. All areas of Algebraic Geometry are welcomed.
