University of Colorado at Denver It was the first circus ever in Denver And Leo put on quite a show. His web site had all the info And the signs told you where to go.
He got the sun to shine on the Rockies And the snacks were the best and most. If Leo would only reimburse my airfare, I'd make him permanent circus host.
The circus is an informal meeting with a tradition that runs for over 27 years. The founder of the first circus and the organizer of all the meetings through the Fall 1995 circus is Professor Ivo Babuska. The circus is currently overseen by Douglas Arnold and Richard S. Falk. More historical information about the circus, as well as the Circus mailing list, can be found on Doug Arnold's home page.
The local host of the Spring 98 meeting was Leo Franca.
Accommodations were reserved at the Executive Tower Inn, which is located at the corner of 14th St. and Curtis St. (1405 Curtis is the address). The Hotel is two blocks away from the CU-Denver building.
The circus consists of informal talks; the length of these talks depends on the number of people who want to speak. Usually, the talks are 12-18 minutes long, with some time for questions. The order of presentation is decided randomly at the beginning of the circus and speakers must be present for the entire meeting. The meeting at Denver had talks 20 minutes long with 17 minutes for the talk and 3 minutes for questions. A list of the speakers, as well as the topics of the talks is available, along with a list of participants.
The meeting was held in room 490 of the CU-Denver Building, in downtown Denver, at the corner of Lawrence and 14th Streets right across Speer Blvd. from the Auraria campus. On Friday, March 27, the meeting ran from 1:30 pm to 5:30 pm, with 9 talks. At 7:00 pm the traditional Circus Dinner was at the Al Fresco Restaurant. (See here for a list of people that attended the dinner.)
On Saturday, March 28, there were 11 talks from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm, with a lunch break at noon. The lunch was free of charge for circus participants.
