Friends and colleagues of Robert M. Freund are organizing a special celebration honoring his 60th birthday on the evening of Sunday, May 18th, immediately preceding the SIAM Conference on Optimization (OP14). The event will consist of 2 hours of technical presentations by current and former students and collaborators, from 5:00 to 7:00 PM, followed by a dinner banquet. During the dinner, there will be an opportunity for toasts, reminiscences and anecdotes. 

All SIAM conference attendees are welcome to attend the technical session at no additional charge.

All attendees, and their spouses and guests, are welcome to attend the banquet, but there will be a fee of $110 per person to cover costs. The organizers hope many conference attendees will join in this tribute to one of the leaders in the field of optimization.

Dinner tickets for yourself and accompanying guests should be purchased online at archive.siam.org/meetings/op14/regform.php as part of conference online pre-registration, which ends on 4/21/14. Please note the number of tickets is limited, and will not be available for purchase onsite.

A cash bar will be open starting at 7:00 PM (2 drink tickets are included with dinner registration).

Dinner will be served 7:30 - 10:30 PM, and includes:
Variety of salad greens topped with tomato, cucumbers and julienne carrots
Freshly baked rolls
Grilled filet of salmon, topped with a Champagne Beurre Blanc and julienne vegetables*
Dessert and freshly brewed coffee, decaffeinated coffee and tea
If you require a vegetarian meal, please email Kirsten Wilden ([email protected]) **after registering online** by the pre-registration deadline of April 21, 2014. Please reference OP14 FreundFest in the subject line.

Please contact Marina Epelman ([email protected]) with any questions about the event

Please Note: 
It is SIAM policy that all speakers must pre-register. Speakers who do not pre-register will be required to register on site at the higher rate.

 

Conference Speakers

The Conference Organizing Committee expects every speaker in a scheduled presentation to register and attend the conference.

If it becomes necessary for a speaker to cancel a presentation, he or she must try to find an alternate presenter immediately, preferably a co-author. Contact SIAM Meeting Manager Kirsten Wilden ([email protected]) immediately with any change to a scheduled presentation.

A “no-show” or cancelled presentation can cause serious inconvenience to the attendees and conference organizers. The committee thanks all speakers in advance for their compliance with this request.

SIAM is not responsible for the safety and security of attendees’ computers. Do not leave laptop computers unattended.

Please remember to turn off cell phones, pagers, etc., during sessions.
