Gathering for Gardner 10 #g4g10

Gathering for Gardner 10You may be aware that Gathering for Gardner 10 took place last week.

This is an invitation-only, high profile event. The Gathering for Gardner Foundation website gives the following explanation:

Martin Gardner’s influence has been so broad that a large percentage of his fans have only infrequent contact with each other. Tom Rodgers conceived the idea of hosting a weekend gathering in honor of Gardner to bring some of these people together. The first “Gathering for Gardner” (G4G1) was held in January 1993 … Since that time, six more biannual conferences have been held; the most recent was G4G9 , in 2010.

We are still in that short window when you can get live Twitter results from the conference, so if you want a raw reaction to what went on, you can check out a Twitter search for #g4g10.

I’m sure plenty of content will be created by participants over the coming weeks and months. So far I have seen: Edmund Harriss’ talk was previewed on his blog: ‘The 2×1 rectangle and Domes‘; lots of photos on Flickr tagged g4g10; Colm Mulcahy’s talk on Martin Gardner as two videos on YouTube.
