Welcome Registration Program Participants Practical information

The aim of this conference, located at the Palazzone in Cortona (Tuscany, Italy), is to bring together researchers in geometric topology, especially interested in hyperbolic geometry, geometric structures on manifolds, and representation spaces. There will be three minicourses, held by (i) Joan Porti, (ii) Alan Reid, and (iii) Jean-Marc Schlenker, Ken Bromberg, and Jeff Brock, plus some one-hour research talks. The conference will start on Monday 5 at 9 am, and will end on Friday 9 afternoon. We advise the pariticipants to arrive on Sunday 4 and leave on Saturday 10. In accordance with the Statement of Inclusiveness, this event will be open to everybody, regardless of race, sex, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, age, pregnancy, immigration status, or any other aspect of identity.
