The meeting is now over, but for information purposes, this page

may be found on the

talks.
"Provisional" schedules etc are now final.
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.
The final schedule of talks will be handed out at the meeting, but a
provisional schedule is available, as well as a
provisional list of speakers,
in the meantime.
(Also ABSTRACTS of selected talks.)
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. Lectures
will be in room BRON 151.
There will be a registration fee of $CAN40 ($US30), $CAN20 ($US15) for
students.
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.
