This conference will focus on interactions between the algebraic topology of locally non-trivial spaces and geometric group theory. NSF funding is available for lodging and travel travel expenses for graduate students and speakers without their own source of funding.
The 2019 meeting will be in Springdale, UT, at the entrance to Zion National Park. Regular talks will take place from 9 AM - 12 noon and the time from 12 noon to 8 pm will be free collaboration/discussion time in which you are welcome to explore the beautiful Zion National Park (also home to natural arches) and the surrounding area. The first three days will conclude with the evening plenary talks from 8-9 pm.
Topics: Algebraic Topology, Geometric Group Theory, Geometric Topology
