Support is reimbursement, so you won't really need official forms until December (and they likely won't exist till then.) I would like to start promising money now, so if you'd like to apply for support, please estimate your expenses (probably $450 for room and board at Asilomar plus $50 registration fee plus your airfair) and e-mail it to me. I'll try to get back quickly saying something like "I promise, subject to your citizenship, to reimburse at least $n of your expenses." I expect n to be at least 800 in most cases.
The Number Theory Foundation has awarded us some funds for
attendees who are students and don't
qualify for NSA funds. We should be able to cover $300 to $500 of
expenses per student while funds last.

dinner, we will retire to the meeting room, where we'll have a quick meeting where
titles are submitted and a schedule of talks is hastily assembled. People who
skip the banquet are welcome to meet the rest of us at the meeting room.
Tentatively we'll schedule this meeting for 7:30 pm. If you can't make the
meeting and want to give a talk, I'm happy to receive your title early
and submit it for you. Please indicate which session (analytic, algebraic,
combinatoric, elementary, etc.) and any time restrictions you might have.
6. Program from the 2009 and 2010 Conferences
Here are PDF's listing the speakers and their titles
from the 2010 Conference which was held
in Orem, Utah and the 2009 conference which was held at Asilomar.
I make it available to give an idea of the participant
list and the wide variety and level of talks one can expect at
this conference. (This document may not reflect last minute changes
that were made to the program.)

7. Format of the Conference:
We will begin with an opening banquet on the evening of Dec. 16 at 6 pm. Attendence
at the banquet is optional, and there is an additional surcharge of $12
for the meal (which means that the cost for off-grounds attendees is $18 plus
the $10 "daily use fee.") People wanting Kosher or Vegan
or other options should contact Asilomar directly.
The length allowed for all talks is usually about 15 or 20 minutes,
including time for questions. Dec. 17 and 19 will be full days of talks,
while Dec. 18 will have talks in the morning, leaving the afternoon for
our "afternoon off" for sightseeing and recreation. Dec. 20 will be
another half day. Two problem sessions will be scheduled during the
conference, where unsolved problems are
presented. The
results from previous problem sessions are given above.
We will arrange for an overhead projector and a computer projector.
The chalkboards that have been
available in the past have been woefully inadequate.
I do bring a small supply of blank transparencies and markers, but they
get snarfed up quickly by non-self-sufficient attendees. I'll try to get
you whatever you need if I have enough lead time, but I recommend that
you bring your own stuff, and not rely on my limited resourcefulness.
8. Service and Thanks:
I am happy to help in any way. If downloading the forms doesn't work,
then I can e-mail or snail mail them. If you know of someone who wants
to be added to the e-mail list, then please let me know or have
them mail me.
