Venue

The conference will be held from 17 - 19 October 2014 at Southern Methodist University (SMU), a vibrant university located near the center of Dallas, Texas and in close vicinity to arts, music, and other attractions in the city and surrounding region.

All main events will be hosted in the Hughes-Trigg Student Center at SMU. In addition to the conference-provided amenities, the Student Center offers ample formal and informal social space, a coffee bar, and eateries.

The logo of the conference depicts the stained-glass ceiling in the rotunda of the SMU's landmark building of Dallas Hall, or, informally, "The Hilltop". A particle scattering event with similar geometry from a Higgs boson search at the Large Hadron Collider is superimposed.
