There will be two mini-courses run in the morning and afternoon of the first four days of the conference:
Mini-Course 1: Combinatorics and geometry of moduli spaces of genus-0 stable curves (Maria Gillespie)
Mini-Course 2: Chow rings of matroids and connections to moduli spaces of genus-0 curves (Shiyue Li)
There will be research talks on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday at the end of the day, and the entire day Friday will be research-focused, including talks and a poster session.
All talks will be held in room PK5115 at UQAM.
