Objectives
Continuing the tradition set forth by the previous Pacific Rim Conferences, this conference is intended to be a high-profile mathematical event.

The objectives of the Conference are to present the latest trends in mathematical research to a wide audience and to develop stronger ties between mathematicians in the Pacific Rim region.

The Conference, which is open to all areas of mathematics, will have eight Focus Sessions. Each Focus Session will include a Plenary Speaker and several Invited Speakers.

In addition, seven Plenary Speakers will give talks to celebrate the Tenth Anniversary of the Liu Bie Ju Centre for Mathematical Sciences, City University of Hong Kong.
