The Spring Central Section Meeting of the AMS will be held at the University of Kansas, March 30 – April 1, 2012 (Friday – Sunday). This meeting will include at least three special sessions of interest to the commalg community:

• Special Session on Combinatorial Commutative Algebra, co-organized by Chris Francisco, Jeff Mermin, and Jay Schweig.
• Special Session on Singularities in Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Geometry, co-organized by Hailong Dao, Lance E. Miller, and Karl Schwede.
• Special Session on Topics in Commutative Algebra, co-organized by Hailong Dao, Craig Huneke, and Daniel Katz.

update 29 Dec 2011: There is now a local website for the meeting at math.ku.edu/conferences/2012/AMS/. It contains a lot of useful information, for example links to web pages for the individual sessions and things like hotels and restaurants.

A special session on Commutative Algebra and Modules will be organized for the coming Fourth International Conference on Mathematical Sciences (ICM-2012), March 11-14, 2012, at the United Arab Emirates University, Al-Ain, UAE (one hour away by car from Dubai).

For more information see the link http://icm.uaeu.ac.ae.

The conference is sponsored by the AMS. Organizers of this special session are A. Badawi (American University, Sharjah, UAE) and M. Fontana (Universitá “Roma Tre”).

The Southwest Local Algebra Meeting 2012 will take place at Texas Tech University, March 3-4, 2012. See the website http://www.math.ttu.edu/~lchriste/slam2012.html for more information.
