The 2018 Joint Math Meetings will be held January 10-13 in San Diego, CA (http://jointmathematicsmeetings.org/jmm). Here are some links to some events that might be of interest.
update 2 Nov: Craig Huneke of the University of Virginia will be giving one of the talks in the Current Events Bulletin session. His title is “How complicated are polynomials in many variables?”. Here is the abstract:

The title question refers to systems of polynomial equations in many variables over a field. The question can be made precise in many ways, for example, through the complexity of detecting whether a given polynomial can be expressed as a linear combination (with polynomial coefficients) of other polynomials.
Another sense in which the question can be made precise is through comparisons of numerical data about the ideal generated by the polynomial equations, which generalize the numbers of generators and relations. Such additional numerical data was originally introduced in the 1890’s by David Hilbert to count the number of polynomial invariants of the action of a group (this was the work that “killed” invariant theory for a brief time!). In the last two years, three long-standing problems about these numerical invariants have been solved.

KUMUNU (which is named for its original participating institutions: the University of Kansas, University of Missouri-Columbia, and University of Nebraska-Lincoln) has been an annual conference for commutative algebraists in the Great Plains region since 1999. It has evolved into a conference involving not only commutative algebra but many different fields where commutative algebra has found applications and inspirations.
This year KUMUNU 2017 will be held at the University of Kansas, in Snow Hall 120, on October 21-22, 2017. The conference will also include a poster session for postdocs and graduate students.
The conference will provide lodging for as many participants as possible. In accordance with NSF guidelines, funds will be prioritized to support participants who have no other federal support and participants who are students, post-doctoral scholars, or members of groups that are under-represented in the mathematical sciences.
For more information please see the conference website:

The 27th annual Route 81 conference on commutative algebra and algebraic geometry will be held at Cornell, in Ithaca NY, on Saturday, October 14, 2017. The organizers are Irena Peeva and Mike Stillman. For more information, see the conference web page.
