You are invited to attend the first MATRIX (Mathematics Awareness, Training, Resource, & Information Exchange) conference, to be held 2014 Sept 18 - 20 in Dresden, Germany. It is jointly organized by the National Museum of Mathematics (New York) and Erlebnisland Mathematik (Dresden).

Attendees are expected to include representatives from math museums around the world; those who design/create/operate math exhibits; and those who perform math outreach or deliver math programming designed for a popular audience.

The immediate goal of the conference is to share ideas, experiences, and best practices. Ultimately, however, the goal is to help improve public perception of and engagement with mathematics.

For the programme of the conference and registration details, please consult the conference web site: matrix. momath.org

UPDATE:

The conference featured 22 forum talks, 7 exhibit displays and 3 public lectures; and gathered 60 participants from the most relevant museums of mathematics worldwide and other professionals of math outreach.
