[Spiro Karigiannis]

We are pleased to announce the following conference, to be held in Waterloo May 5-7, 2012, that will be of interest to many
members of the Canadian Mathematical Community.

"Geometry and Physics 2012" (GAP 2012)

Date: May 5-7, 2012

Location: The Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics and the University of Waterloo; in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada

Each year, the GAP conference combines three separate but related themes in geometry and physics. This approach results in
a very interesting mixture of talks. GAP 2012 is now the fourth installment in what has become an annual tradition. The history
of GAP and more information about this year's conference can be found here: http://www.math.uwaterloo.ca/~gap/

***This year's themes are: special holonomy; generalized geometry; and integrable systems.***

Organizers:	Marco Gualtieri (Toronto), Spiro Karigiannis (Waterloo), Ruxandra Moraru (Waterloo),
			Rob Myers (Perimeter), Pedro Vieira (Perimeter), and McKenzie Wang (McMaster).
