2nd Announcement of BWB 2018 Second Brazilian Workshop in Geometry of Banach Spaces August 13-17, 2018 Maresias, Sao Paulo State, Brazil. (Satellite Conference of the ICM 2018)

We would like to remind you that we are organizing the Second Brazilian Workshop in Geometry of Banach Spaces, as a satellite conference of the ICM 2018. We remind you that the *deadline for abstract submissions to the ICM (Rio de Janeiro) is January 5* and further details can be found at www.icm2018.org.

The BWB will take place at the Beach Hotel Maresias, on the coast of Sao Paulo State, in Maresias, in the week August 13-17, 2018. The scientific program will focus on the theory of geometry of Banach spaces, with emphasis on the following directions: large scale geometry of Banach spaces; nonlinear theory; homological theory and set theory.

Registration will start early 2018 and additional scientific, practical and financial information can be found on website www.ime.usp.br/~ banach/bwb2018/.
