A celebration of the work of Ron Graham
=======================================
A special conference in discrete mathematics will be held June 15-19,
2015 on the Burnaby campus of Simon Fraser University.
To celebrate the life and work of Ron Graham (who will turn 80 in
2015), this conference will bring together researchers in number
theory, graph theory, combinatorics, Ramsey theory, probability,
discrete geometry, algorithms, etc., to explore the connections
between these areas of discrete mathematics.
We particularly encourage graduate students and early career
mathematicians to attend and participate in the conference. Some
funding for this group will be available (more information about
funding is on the conference website).
Additional information about the conference, including online
registration and abstract submission for contributed talks, is
available online:

Online registration is now open. Registration fees are as follows:
Students $200 (CDN)
Early-bird $300 (CDN) (until May 1, 2015)
Regular $400 (CDN) (after May 1, 2015)
(Note that registration fees INCLUDE the opening night reception and

In addition to the plenary and invited speakers (listed below), we

be sent by April 15,2015.
