About the conference
The 8th Pacific Rim Geometry Conference will be held at the Murramarang
Resort in the week December 11-15, 2006. The
Pacific Rim Geometry Conference
has been held every
two years since 1992, with previous meetings occurring at Shanghai (2004), Hong Kong
(2002), Sendai (2000), Vancouver (1998), Seoul (1996), Singapore (1994),
and Hong Kong (1992). The main purpose of the conference is to bring
together researchers from Pacific Rim countries that are interested in areas
related to geometry. The conference serves as a means to disseminate the most
recent research developments and to cultivate working relationships among its
participants.
The Murramarang Resort is located
on the south coast of New South Wales, about two hours' drive from Canberra.
Support for this conference has been provided by the Centre for Mathematics and
its Applications and the Mathematical Sciences Institute of The Australian
National University, and by the Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute.

Getting to the conference
We have arranged for a bus to go directly from the Sydney International
Airport to Murramarang resort on the Sunday December 10 (leaving at about 11:00

There is also a regular bus service that goes past Sydney International
Airport via South Durras but the service won't go directly to Murramarang.
The web address for the timetable below. If you are planning on using this
bus service please let us know and we can arrange for someone to collect you
from either Bateman's Bay or South Durras.
