Linear Algebra on the Blue Ridge: Panoramas of Theory and Application

The 27th Conference of the International Linear Algebra Society will be held in Blacksburg, Virginia from May 18-22, 2026, on the campus of Virginia Tech. The conference's theme, "Linear Algebra on the Blue Ridge: Panoramas of Theory and Application," highlights the geographical setting for the conference in the mountains of southwest Virginia, but also serves as an invitation to researchers from across linear algebra, ranging from core areas through to numerical analysis, applications, and linear algebra education. Further details, such as registration information, lodging details, and program updates, will be available in due course.
We look forward to a vibrant ILAS meeting in May 2026, and hope to see you in Blacksburg!
