(Technically, this is still the "first" announcement, though ;-)) Centre de Recherche en Theorie des Categories -- Montreal -- Category Theory Research Center ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Category Theory OctoberFest McGill University, Montreal Saturday - Sunday, October 16 - 17, 1999 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- We invite you to join us in Montreal next October for a weekend meeting in Category Theory, the "not-quite-annual" OctoberFest. As has been the tradition with these meetings, we invite talks from all participants. If you wish to give a talk, send your request along with a short abstract (before the end of September please) to Robert Seely at the address below. Early in October the program committee will announce a preliminary schedule on the Categories email list, and on the CTRC/CRTC web site. (The URL for which is http://www.math.mcgill.ca/triples) The final schedule will be announced at the meeting. We will meet in the Bronfman Building, 1001 Sherbrooke West, on Saturday morning, October 16th. Coffee will be available from 8:30 am. The first talk will be at 9:00. Registration will take place during the morning, before the first talk and during the first coffee break. There will be a registration fee of about $CAN45 (approximately $US30), with luck, less: all possible attempts will be made to keep this as low as we can. There will be a student discount. The precise amount will be announced in early October, along with the proposed schedule. There will be a dinner/party to be held Saturday evening, hosted by Marta Bunge. (Instructions for getting to the Bunge home will be announced at the meeting.) Please let us know if you intend to join us by sending a short email (before the end of September if possible) to Robert Seely, also indicating whether or not you will bring a guest to the party. (We need to have a good estimate of how many people will attend the party about a week before the meeting.) Below you will find a list of hotels and tourist rooms close to McGill. Please note that October is a popular month for visiting Montreal, and early booking is recommended. If you have any further questions, please contact one of us. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael Barr [barr@barrs.org] Robert Seely [rags@math.mcgill.ca] Dept of Mathematics and Statistics McGill University 805 Sherbrooke West Montreal, Quebec CANADA H3A 2K6 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hotels: (Montreal area code = 514) * L'Appartement, 455 Sherbrooke W, 284-3634, $85 * Howard Johnson Plaza, 475 Sherbrooke W, 842-3961, $94 (1-800-842-3961).
