Thank you!
Thanks to all the participants for making this year's festival a success!
The 46th annual Cornell Topology Festival was attended by 91 mathematicians. The program featured ten one-hour talks, a table for preprints, and much opportunity for conversation. Two introductory workshops and a panel discussion focused on symplectic topology and geometry.
Social activities included an opening reception, a banquet at Zaza's Cucina, two working luncheons, and a picnic. Travel grants were available to young mathematicians, women and minorities, and a significant number took advantage of these.
