Deadline is January 20.
Emily Riehl (Jan 13 2026 at 21:31):Thanks to the bot who added this announcement here. (It only occurred to me today that we should have been here all along.)
This is a reminder that abstract submissions are now open and due on January 20th at 11:59pm EST (a hard deadline enforced by mathprograms.org). Instructions are here: https://ct2026.com/ct/submit/
Emily Riehl (Jan 13 2026 at 21:34):By the way, we're planning, with the blessing of at least one moderator (hi @Joe Moeller!), to use this zulip chat as a community hub for both the online and remote participants. Some advice on exactly how to set that up would be welcome.
Would it be appropriate to have our own channel so we can have substreams for announcements, introductions, social things, and a dedicated thread for each talk? I figure we could set up some of this now for community building in advance of the conference. Eg, it seems possible that in-person participants might want to get in touch with each other to coordinate housing/travel.
The hope is that this forum will help everyone feel more connected at a hybrid conference and also drive engagement to this zulip afterwards.
David Michael Roberts (Jan 13 2026 at 21:51):@Emily Riehl thanks for this! Also, looking at the website, it's not clear that remote participation is an option, perhaps it could be updated? Or is this more of something that needs to be not shouted too loudly? Given current events there might be many from outside the US who would be happy to know remote participation can happen.
FWIW I do agree a separate channel would be good.
Joe Moeller (Jan 13 2026 at 22:10):I created a new channel
Joe Moeller (Jan 13 2026 at 22:14):In the past people have set up a dedicated thread inside the channel for each talk. Usually someone just volunteers to go through the schedule and create all the threads in advance.
Joe Moeller (Jan 13 2026 at 22:18):We don't have a super rigid structure generally for what topics can/should be created for events. We could make a thread for announcements, introductions, and social things.

Indeed, this is much less clear on the website than I hope we made it in various email announcements. @philip hackney and I will get right on this.
