Directions: Here are the directions from the hotel to the Penn Math Department.
Conference Hotel: Participants will be staying in Holiday Inn Express Midtown. The cutoff date for guaranteed hotel reservations was September 24, 2014. If you missed the deadline but still need a hotel, please email one of the organizers.
Financial Support: We will try to cover travel costs for everyone (excluding air fares), with preference given to junior participants. We encourage participants from the same institution to carpool to reduce travel costs. Graduate students who are applying for the first time should ask their advisor to send a short email of support (one paragraph) to one of the organizers.
About AGNES: AGNES is a series of weekend workshops in algebraic geometry. One of our goals is to introduce graduate students to a broad spectrum of current research in algebraic geometry. AGNES is held twice a year at participating universities in the Northeast.
