The Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS) welcomes and invites session proposals and mini course proposals for the 2020 CMS Winter Meeting in Montreal from December 4-7.

Call for Sessions
Proposals should include (1) names, affiliations and contact information for all session co-organizers, (2) title and brief description of the focus and purpose of session, (3) a preliminary list of potential speakers, with their affiliation and if they have agreed to participate, along with a total number of expected speakers.

Session will take place December 5, 6, and 7. The meeting schedule will accommodate 12 speakers per full day, and 5 or 7 per half day. Sessions will be advertised in the CMS Notes, on the web site and in the AMS Notices. Speakers will be requested to submit abstracts which will be published on the web site and in the meeting program. Those wishing to organise a session should send a proposal to the Scientific Directors and copy the CMS office. Those submitting proposals are encouraged to pay attention to the diversity of both the session invitees and the proposed session organisers.

Proposals should be submitted by August 30, 2020.

Call for Mini-Courses
The CMS is organising three-hour mini-courses to add more value to meetings and make them attractive for students and teachers to attend.

The mini-courses will be held on Friday afternoon, December 4th, before the public lecture, and include topics suitable for graduate students, postdocs and other interested parties. 

Proposals should include names, affiliations, and contact information for all the mini course co-organizers and title and brief description of the focus of the mini course.
