Information for talk and poster presenters
We will be holding talk and poster office hours during the month before the conference, for those who have registered to present at the conference. These office hours are designed to give feedback to any presenters who would like it! If you have not registered to present, but would like to learn more about these office hours, please email the organizers (contact info is at the bottom of this page.)
Information on how to submit an abstract and sign up for talk and poster office hours will be sent to those interested once they register.
Ethical Conduct Agreement
One of the main goals of Math For All is to create a welcoming environment for all participants. We wish for every participant to feel welcome, included, and safe at our conference. For that reason, we ask you to be mindful of your words and actions when communicating with others. We all have a bias and make mistakes. With an open mind and a willingness to apologize, we can create a safe space for everybody.
If there is a situation during the conference that makes you feel unwelcome, we ask you to please talk to one of the organizers so we can help you as best as we can.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Boston College is located on the traditional land of the Massachusett, Pawtucket, and their neighbors the Wampanoag, and Nipmuc Peoples. Indigenous people have lived in the area for centuries before the arrival of colonizers and still live here today. We acknowledge that Boston College enjoys its location and success in part due to the genocide and cultural repression of these people.
