The conference is over!

Our thanks to everyone for making the conference a roaring success. Here are a few photos from the weekend; please let us know if you have some too, since not all of ours came out well.


Here is some follow-up material from the speakers, including beamer slides where appropriate, links to relevant (p)reprints, and extra information.
