Math festival in Geneva

If you're traveling through Geneva, consider joining us for the second edition of the Math'émerveille mathematics festival!

It will take place right after the conference, on September 5 (a holiday in Geneva), in the beautiful La Perle du Lac park, right by the lake.

If you're showcasing something at the conference, bring it to the festival as well! We can provide a booth and a free one-night stay in the city if you stay until Friday 6. Students can assist with translations if needed, plus your contribution will be woven into an awesome math treasure hunt.
