Since then it has been held annually on a weekend in early Fall (except 2001, when the conference was cancelled due to the attacks that September). We invite number theorists and mathematicians in related areas from New England, eastern Canada, and beyond to speak about their research and discuss ideas for future work. Each year there is a change in venue: odd years at U. Maine, even years at U. Laval. Programs for previous years 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010
