Call for Participation 

               International Geometry Summit 2016 (IGS2016)
www.geometrysummit.org

GEOMETRY SUMMIT
The International Geometry Summit 2016 (IGS) is a joint event and co-location
of the major conferences in applied geometry:
• Symposium on Geometry Processing (SGP) 
• Shape Modeling International (SMI)
• Solid and Physical Modeling (SPM)

For the first time, the prominent international conferences SGP, SMI and SPM
will join forces and showcase the breadth and the impact of applied geometry.
The summit will combine the paper presentations from all three conferences,
which have now been selected by the respected program committees and are
available shortly on the conference website.

The Fabrication and Sculpting Event (FASE) presents original research at the
intersection of shape modeling and fabrication.

INVITED SPEAKERS AND PUBLIC LECTURES
A range of invited speakers will share their perspective as part of the conference
program as well as in a public event open to the general public at Urania in Berlin:
