Registration is free, but please use the registration link  here.

Funding decisions have been made March 1.  New registrants can still request funding, and we will try to accommodate requests but cannot guarantee it.

Important Note: (in case we can offer reimbursement)

The NSF conference grant requires the use of a US carrier. In addition, if you intend to purchase an itinerary that is a non-direct return flight to the conference, i.e., a multi-city flight or use of a stopover (this does not include regular connections), you must provide a comparable direct return flight in order to be reimbursed.

PLEASE READ this statement here for detailed instructions on what must be done to get reimbursed.

There will be a poster fair; you can sign up (in the registration form)  to present a poster!

Recommended Parking:

The most effective parking is achieved by obtaining online a $5 parking A-license for the day (see here for the instructions ) and then parking in the garage called "PGU" on the map here ; this garage is next to the math building (which is  slightly Southeast from the garage and called "MATH" on any campus map). This garage needs an A-parking license.

An alternative is the Grant Street Parking Garage located at 120 N. Grant Street, West Lafayette, IN 47906 across from the Purdue Memorial Union. In that garage you apparently pay $1 per hour. The MATH buildning is due West from the Grant Street Garage.

Lodging:

A block of rooms has been reserved at the 

     Hampton by Hilton West Lafayette

     160 Tapawingo Drive, IN, 47906, 

      (765) 269-8000

under the keyword "algecom". Anyone staying there will have to pay the hotel directly. Even if you expect that you will be reimbursed later. The hotel is about 20 minutes walking from the conference room.

If you are looking for AirBnB options, look for anything in walking distance to the MATH building. 

Schedule:

(All times are in the Eastern Time Zone)

Talks will be in room MATH 175.  Coffee and posters will be in the lobby outside the lecture hall. 

(MATH is the tallest bulding (12 floors) on campus, MA175 is on ground level. Find the "breezeway" (the passage on ground level that goes East-West underneath the math building, and look out for the big glass doors on teh South and on the North side. You want to enter the North doors).
