Topics in Differential Geometry

This workshop is designed for graduate students and postdocs who study problems in the area of differential geometry.  All are welcome but we especially encourage grad students and postdocs and funding will only be provided for individuals at these early career stages. Ample time will be given between talks to allow for meaningful discussion.

Please register here. Note that the speakers have already been selected. The hotel room block is now closed.  Any accommodations made after this date will not be eligible for reimbursement.
