Reception An informal drinks reception will be held in the Queen's Head Pub at 5pm on Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010. Please e-mail to grossconf@math.harvard.edu if you are interested to attend.

Dinner: There will be a dinner on the evening of June 4th, 2010 at the Harvard faculty club costing $20 per person. Places may be reserved on a first come first served basis by emailing grossconf@math.harvard.edu.

Support: We expect to have funding available to partially support some participants. Participants who would like to request funding should email grossconf@math.harvard.edu. We particularly welcome applications from graduate students and post-docs, from women, from members of underrepresented minorities and from those without other funds to support academic travel. We ask members of these groups to identify themselves in their applications. Graduate students or recent PhDs should suggest the name of a senior mathematician willing to send a brief reference.

Accommodation: We are expecting hotel accommodation in the Cambridge area to be expensive and possibly in short supply at the time of the conference, so we urge participants to make arrangements as early as possible. Below is a list of hotels near Harvard. We have blocked a few rooms at the Harvard Square Hotel at a rate of $191 per night (tax included). If you would like to request one of these rooms please email grossconf@math.harvard.edu.
