The Spring 2015 Redbud conference will be held at Oklahoma State University April 3–5, 2015. The Redbud conference is a regional conference in topology and geometry with participants from the University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University, the University of Arkansas, and elsewhere.

Friday 3rd of April will be a graduate student workshop, with introductory talks on contact topology and hyperbolic geometry. The main conference will be held on Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th of April.

We anticipate funding that will allow us to cover a portion of the travel expenses for participants without other means of support. Graduate student, recent Ph.D.s, and mathematicians in underrepresented groups working in geometric topology are especially encouraged to apply for funding.

We hope to see you in April!
