Gone Fishing 2023 at Amherst College

Welcome to the official website for the 9th annual Gone Fishing conference in North America, for the presentation and discussion of new ideas and results in Poisson geometry. The event took place on March 16–19 2023 on the campus of Amherst College in Amherst, Massachusetts. Thank you to all who made the trek to Western Mass—your efforts and participation over the four days made the confernece a success!

2023 Gone Fishing Photos

Thank you to everyone who participated in the 2023 Gone Fishing Poisson Geometry Conference on the campus of Amherst College. Please enjoy a few photos from the confernece’s opening reception.

The theme of this meeting is “Poisson geometry and its derived, shifted, and higher variants” and we hope to stimulate interaction between Poisson geometry, derived symplectic geometry and related fields. We expect that three of the special 50 min lectures will have a focus on the theme of the meeting. Shorter (25 min) talks about Poisson geometry broadly speaking are welcome. Those participants interested in presenting such a talk will indicate this upon registration. We especially encourage talks by members of underrepresented groups and early career mathematicians.

NSF Support

An NSF conference grant will allow us to cover or partially cover travel and local expenses of some participants. Priority is given to graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and those with no other travel funds available.
