Dear Colleagues,

This is the second announcement of  the conference “What’s Next? The
mathematical legacy of Bill Thurston,”  to be held at Cornell University
from Monday, June 23rd  - Friday, June 27th , 2014.  Information about
speakers and activities can be found below the registration information.

Registration for the Conference is now open.  Please register at
http://www.math.cornell.edu/napp/thu/app1.php if you are planning to
attend.  We need you to register so that we have an accurate count for
planning purposes. When you register you will have the option of also
registering for the  conference banquet, which will be at the Statler Hotel
on June 26th, Registration for both the conference and banquet is due by
June 1, 2014.   Due to various organizational constraints we cannot accept
late registrations.

Housing:  The registration page includes a link to information about
housing.  Options include campus dormitory housing and blocks of rooms in
local hotels.  If you choose on campus housing you will need to register

hotel housing you will need to make your reservation by the date that is
provided next to the hotel of your choice.

We anticipate that limited financial support will be available to help with
travel and accommodation expenses. Information on this and the form for
requesting support will be available at the registration site.  The
Financial Support Request deadline is March 20, 2014.  Young researchers
and underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to apply.
