Conference on Geometric Methods in Representation Theory

November 22-24, 2014

Accommodations:

THE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA HAS SCHEDULED A FOOTBALL GAME ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 2014.
People in Iowa are CRAZY about the Hawkeyes, so we recommend you make hotel reservations EARLY.

The Iowa House Hotel has blocked off some rooms for us for November 21-25, 2014. You need to book by OCTOBER 20, 2014.
Please e-mail frauke-bleher@uiowa.edu for the group code.
This hotel is located in the Iowa Memorial Union, which is only a 2-minute walk away from the math department building MacLean Hall.
They give us a flat rate of $90 per night. There is no tax since this is a university owned hotel.
Parking in the Iowa Memorial Union Ramp is usually complementary (ask for parking vouchers at check-in).

We anticipate to have talks on all three days (November 22, 23, 24) in the morning and afternoon. If you plan to come to the whole conference, we recommend you arrive on November 21 and depart on November 25. If you can only come to a portion of the conference and you want to give a talk, please let us know as soon as possible so we can accommodate your talk.
