FPSAC 2022 organizational page

This is a place for organizers to keep track of details and ongoing discussions.

Conference dates

  • Tentatively fixed for July 11-15, 2022, but we're trying to move the dorm and conference hall reservations to a different week (first week of August?) to avoid a conflict with the ICM. Eugene is working with Gladis on that, will report progress.

Accommodations and lecture hall reservations

  • We have secured a reservation with Conference Housing Services of 200 dorm beds for July 11-15, 2022 (email from Teri Parker dated September 17, 2019). The reservation will be held until January 2022, at which time we will need to sign a contract and commit funds to secure the reservation.
  • We have secured a reservation of a conference hall with the UC Davis Conference Center for the same week. ADD DETAILS
  • Eugene is working with Gladis to look into changing the dates to avoid a conflict with ICM 2022.
