Overview
This two day conference will celebrate the career of Paul Selick. It
will gather together many of Paul's coworkers, students and friends, and
give an opportunity for both senior and more junior leaders in homotopy
theory and related areas to discuss both past achievements and future
directions. There will be five talks each day with ample time left for
free discussion. A conference dinner will provide a valuable social occasion.
