Preparations for AN14

Apart from the Snowbird meeting, our Activity Group also organises tracks of dynamical systems related sessions at a major applied mathematics meetings. Two years ago, Evelyn Sander organised such a track at the 2011 ICIAM meeting in Vancouver. Next year, our AG will be featured along with Computational Science and Engineering and Geosciences at the SIAM Annual Meeting in Chicago. Lennaert van Veen gives an update on the organisation of this event.
