University of Florida, March 1-2, 2025
With colloquium talks on Friday February 28 and Monday March 3.
General Information
The Southeastern Logic Symposium (SEALS) series provides a forum for logicians to meet on a regular basis. It has traditionally been a unique venue for set theorists, computability theorists, and other logicians to interact, facilitating conversation between different fields of mathematics. The weekend meetings are held annually in the beginning of March at University of Florida.
SEALS 2025 is planned as an in-person conference at University of Florida. There will be three plenary talks and parallel special session talks in set theory and computability.

The plenary speakers and supported participants should be in contact with our secretary Margaret Somers regarding your accommodation. Reimbursement checks will be sent out after the conference (this will likely take 3-4 weeks to process).
