About NY Theory Day:
The IBM Research/NYU/Columbia Theory Day is a semi-annual conference aiming to bring together people in New York Metropolitan area for one day of interaction and discussion on current topics in theoretical computer science.
Each Theory Day features several (usually 4-5) hour-long presentations by leading theoretical computer scientists about state-of-the-art advances in various areas. Some presentations give a survey of the latest advances in some area, while others may concentrate on a particular (often ground-breaking!) result. The meeting is free and open to everyone; in particular, students are encouraged to attend.
The location of NY Theory Day alternates between NYU and Columbia University, typically occurring at NYU during the fall semester and Columbia in the spring.
While it was running (2018-2024), the Special Focus on Lower Bounds in Computational Complexity collaborated with NY Theory Day to make funds available to support travel by speakers—particularly students and postdocs working in complexity—from outside the local geographic area. You may view the DIMACS calendar of events for details on Theory Days held in collaboration with the Special Focus.
The primary website for NY Theory Day is maintained by the event's organizers. Please see the NY Theory Day website for the most up-to-date information on current and upcoming NY Theory Days, as well as an archive of past Theory Days.
