Schedule

When we get closer to the conference, we will share the detailed schedule of activities and plan for social gatherings. To get a sense of a typical year, take a look at the archives from past events.

The overall structure of the conference is:

Local Information

The conference sessions will take place at the Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center.

When we get closer to the conference, we will post directions, public transit information, parking information, and guidance about the local area.

Policies

Code of Conduct: The Summer Mathematics Programs Consortium supports equality of opportunity and treatment for all participants, and seeks to foster an atmosphere that encourages the free expression and exchange of ideas, and simultaneously seeks to ensure a safe and welcoming environment free of harassment, bullying, retaliation, and discrimination of any kind for all attendees of the Annual Conference. We are asking all participants to actively uphold this commitment to one another. In the event that something goes wrong, we have reporting procedures and response plans in place to address issues in a timely and sensitive manner.

Recording Policy: The Consortium will be making recordings for the purposes of advertising and promotion of the Consortium and/or the Annual Conference, and there will be an (opt-in) group photo. As an extension of the Code of Conduct, we expect participants to treat one another with respect: obtaining permission before making recordings, not using recordings for malicious purposes, and honoring any requests for removal.

We will soon post the details for the 2024 Consortium Conference Code of Conduct and 2024 Consortium Conference Recording Policy, as well as our protocols related to Covid-19. To get a sense of a typical year, take a look at the archives from past events.

Reimbursements

There is no fee for this workshop, and we will provide funding to conference participants for travel, hotel rooms, and meals. See the the 2024 Financial Policies document for more details about what expenses are eligible for funding.

Member Sign-Ups

Here's our plan for getting you from here to the conference:

• Step one is the initial interest form. The final deadline for submitting this form is May 31, 2024.
  • One major change from last year: Please submit one form per program; if multiple people from the same program would like to attend, you'll be able to indicate that on this form.
• We'll also invite you to fill out a registration form about logistical details (hotels, travel, dietary restrictions, accessibility needs, etc) with a deadline of August 1, 2024.
• Confirmed participants should arrange their own travel arrangements and hotel reservations. For rooms booked in our hotel block at the Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center, the cost of the room and tax will be paid directly through conference funding; you still need to make your own reservation individually.
• Finally: there is a reimbursement form to get your plane tickets, dinners, etc covered. The form can be submitted before the event, upon arrival, and/or up to a month following the event. Note that you may submit the form multiple times.

Look forward to seeing you in September, and in the meantime, we'll be in touch!

Non-Member Applications

For programs or individuals who are not already part of the Consortium.

• Step one is this application form. Please submit one form per program; if multiple people from the same program would like to attend, you'll be able to indicate that on this form. The deadline for this application form is July 29, 2024
