There will be a Macaulay2 event preceding the SIAM Applied Algebraic Geometry meeting. The organizers plan three full days of M2 tutorials on July 27-29 (Thu-Sat), which will take place at Georgia Tech. These tutorials are intended to appeal to participants with any level of prior M2 experience. The topics will range from the basic functionality of M2 to modeling problems in the M2 language to more specialized tutorials on algebraic statistics and numerical algebraic geometry. We will also reserve ample time for practice and Q&A sessions.
Registration is free, but prospective participants should fill out this form.
The deadline to apply for financial support (for local expenses) is May 15, 2017. Priority will be given to students and early career participants.

The 2017 Mathematical Congress of the Americas, held July 24-28 in Montreal, Canada, will have several sessions of interest to commutative algebraists:

• Advances in Arrangement Theory, organized by Jeremiah Bartz, Christin Bibby, and Max Wakefield
• Applied and Computational Algebra and Geometry, organized by Carina Curto, Alicia Dickenstein, and Luis David Garcia Puente
• Combinatorial Commutative Algebra, organized by Sara Faridi, Susan Morey, and Rafael Villarreal
• Recent Trends in Algebraic Cycles, Algebraic K-Theory and Motives, organized by Guillermo Cortiñas, E. Javier Elizondo, James Lewis, Paulo Lima-Filho, and Chuck Weibel
• Representation Theory of Algebras, organized by Ibrahim Assem, Raymundo Bautista, Flavio Ulhoa Coelho, Ralf Schiffler, and Sonia Trepode

And possibly others we’ve missed! See the scientific program for the meeting for a full listing of sessions.

The Instituto de Ciências Matemáticas e de Computação, Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil will organize the International Meeting in Commutative Algebra and its Related Areas, July 17 – 21, 2017. A conference to celebrate Prof. Aron Simis 75th Birthday. The goal of the meeting is to promote different facets of Commutative Algebra and its Related Areas. The organization is still in progress.
Contact the organizers at simcara@icmc.usp.br if you have any queries about attending or participating in the seminar.

The registration fee includes a dinner party of the event.

There will be a conference and workshop at UC Berkeley, July 17-21 2017, on regularity and Stillman’s problem; the conference will honor Mike Stillman’s and Dave Bayer’s 60th birthdays. The conference will be the first two days (July 17-18), and the following 3 days will be the M2 workshop (July 19-21).
For more information please visit the website for the event. On the site you can register for the conference and workshop.
If you would like to apply for travel support please submit your registration by February 15, 2017. All are welcome to apply for support and priority will go to graduate students, postdocs, those from underrepresented communities, and those planning on attending both the conference and the workshop.
