Dates: Saturday March 3, Sunday March 4, UC San Diego Mathematics Department APM Building Room 6402 (Sixth Floor of APM Building).

Accommodation: A block of rooms has been reserved at the Best Western Del Mar (use this link to book a room at the UCSD rate). A free shuttle service to and from UCSD will also be provided.

Events Specialist: For questions about Hotel reservations or reimbursements contact Ms. Leslie Foley, lafoley@ucsd.edu@ucsd.edu (Office APM 7355).

Financial Support: Provided by the National Science Foundation. Limited funding is available to partially support the travel expenses of selected participants. Advanced graduate students or postoctoral fellows in the topic of the conference may apply for funding by sending a CV to Sean Curry (sncurry@ucsd.edu).

Reimbursement Information:

• Please fill out the reimbursement form. Clearly indicate on the form where you want your check sent.
• Attach all receipts as well as copies of the front page of your passport and also of the visa/stamp page if not a US citizen/permanent resident.
• Send the completed reimbursement form and receipts to:
  • Leslie Foley
  • UC San Diego, Department of Mathematics
  • 9500 Gilman Drive #0112
  • La Jolla, CA, 92093-0112.
• Scanned copies of hotel/airfare/uber receipts are acceptable and could be sent by email. The receipts should show the method of payment (last digits of the credit card) and the amount charged. However, we do need any original taxi receipts over $75 and original itemized meal receipts to be sent in by regular mail.
• Visitors from overseas: Please request a B1 or WB stamp (business) as B2 or WT (tourist) visa's cannot be reimbursed.
• Important note for J1 visa holders: Occasional lectures or consultations. Professors and research scholars may participate in occasional lectures and short-term consultations, if authorized to do so by his or her sponsor. Such lectures and consultations must be incidental to the exchange visitor's primary program activities. If wages or other remuneration are received by the exchange visitor for such activities, the exchange visitor must act as an independent contractor, as such term is defined in 8 CFR 274a.1(j), and the following criteria and procedures must be satisfied. For example if you are a J-1 scholar coming from Yale to do a lecture here or attend a conference, you should receive a letter from Yale's International Center indicating that you are eligible to receive a reimbursement from UCSD. Also the request must be done BEFORE the event.

Conference Outline: The goal of the meeting is to bring together world class mathematicians with expertise in complex analysis/geometry and CR geometry, as well a provide a forum for the exchange of ideas with graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty.
