Banquet Saturday, October 5
The banquet for the Midwest Topology Conference in honor of Peter May's 80th birthday will take place in downtown Chicago. You can get there from Hyde Park via taxi/rideshare or public transportation.
Please RSVP with this Google form by Wednesday, September 25 if you plan to attend.
UPDATE: On account of impregnable space limitations and Peter May's unbounded popularity, the banquet is now at capacity. We hope, however, to replace each cancellation with a late registrant, so:
- if you are interested in coming, please RSVP on the Google form and you will be added to the waitlist, and
- if you are no longer able to attend, please let us know so someone else can fill your seat.
Time: 6-10pm
Place: Hyatt/Aloft Chicago Downtown River North
515 N Clark St, Chicago, IL 60654 (map)
The dinner will be buffet style and will feature both vegetarian and non-vegetarian Indian dishes from Peter's favorite restaurant, India House.
There will be a cash bar on site.
