A note to attendees

Our idea is to take advantage of the upcoming elections by inviting mathematicians from abroad, who will already be visiting, to participate in a mathematical conference. This is a purely scientific event, not a political one. Given the proximity to the elections, we kindly ask speakers and attendees to avoid election-related comments and politically-themed clothing.
