• Funding: Thanks to the support of the National Science Foundation (#2341618), the conference has travel funding available for some participants without other means of support. We particularly encourage requests from graduate students, postdocs, early career mathematicians, and those from backgrounds which are traditionally underrepresented in mathematics. Funding requests should be made on the registration form.
• Contributed Talks: Currently there are openings for short, contributed talks. Abstract proposals should be submitted during registration.

Further details about the conference will be made available on the conference webpage as the information becomes finalized. In the meantime, feel free to contact the organizers with questions.
