The second MathML and Math on the Web International Conference will be held June 29-30, 2002 at Hickory Ridge Conference Center in Lisle, a suburb of Chicago. The conference is sponsored by Wolfram Research, Waterloo Maple, Design Science, the American Mathematical Society, Compaq Computers, and the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Modeled on the successful first conference in October 2000, this conference brings together those interested or involved in the future of math on the web, and provides a forum for presenting and discussing current research and applications emphasizing mathematics on the web in general, and MathML in particular. The final program is now set, and includes many interesting talks, posters, and demos. It also includes invited talks by Leslie Lamport (creator of LaTeX), David Carlisle (an editor of the MathML 2 recommendation), and Roger Sidje (principal implementer of MathML in Mozilla). New this year is a "demo" night, featuring demonstrations of some of the leading MathML applications. As is befitting a web-oriented conference, there will be a large email lab and a wireless network with a high-speed connection available for those attending. The resort-like setting of the conference center will help to enhance the ample opportunities the conference provides for interaction among attendees. Conference registration is currently being accepted at: https://www.wolfram.com/mathmlconference/register.cgi Three pre-conference MathML tutorials are also being offered on Friday, June 28. Space is limited for these hands-on tutorials, so early registration is strongly recommended. More information about the conference, including the full schedule of events and presentation abstracts, is available on the MathML Conference website at: http://www.mathmlconference.org Please note that a late fee will be imposed for those registering after May 17.
