Call for Sessions CMS-MITACS Joint Conference 2007

Additional self-supported sessions play an important role in the success of our meetings. We welcome and invite proposals for self-supported sessions for this meeting (May 31 - June 3, 2007) at the Delta Hotel in Winnipeg. Proposals should include a brief description of the focus and purpose of the session, the expected number of the talks, as well as the organizer's name, complete address, telephone number, e-mail address, etc. These additional sessions will be incorporated with the other sessions in time blocks allocated by the Meeting Directors. All sessions will be advertised in the CMS Notes, on the web sites and, if possible, in the Notices of the AMS and in publications of other societies. Speakers in these additional sessions will be requested to submit abstracts which will be published on the web site and in the meeting programme. Those wishing to organize a session should send a proposal to the Meeting Directors by the deadline below.
