The conference "Algebra, Combinatorics and Representation Theory" was held on the campus of Northeastern University in Boston on April 24-28th. The conference was a celebration of the work of Andrei Zelevinsky, covering the numerous areas where he has made contributions in his mathematical life, including combinatorics, commutative algebra, representation theory, and algebraic geometry. Sadly, Andrei passed away on April 10, 2013. Information about Andrei's passing and funeral arrangments was posted by his family here.
The conference was supported by funding from the Math Department and College of Science of Northeastern and by a conference grant from the NSF.
There will be poster sessions on April 25th and 27th which any interested participants are welcome to join. Please email Ben Webster at b.webster@neu.edu if you would like to present a poster.

We'll have a conference dinner on April 25th at 7pm in the Alumni Center on campus; the cost is $30 ($15 for grad students). Space is limited, and we need to give a number of guests on Sunday, April 21. If you want to come please email Ben Webster before then, with the number in your party, and how many of you will require vegetarian meals.
