The Montreal Graph Theory Workshop is an informal and friendly research workshop, where people can exchange ideas and pursue new research ideas while learning about recent developments or forgotten conjectures which deserve attention. The 2023 edition continues in the tradition of arguably the first iteration of the workshop in 2017, entitled Beauty of Discrete Mathematics. Participation is by invitation only. All invited participants are encouraged, but not required, to give talks of lengths either 20 minutes or 40 minutes. Given the nature of the workshop, we especially encourage talks which promote future research. The structure of the week-long workshop will include ample time to conduct research in self-directed groups.
Dates
The workshop will be held May 29 – June 2, 2023.
Location
The workshop will be held at Dawson College, centrally located at the edge of downtown Montreal. It is easily accessible by Metro (Station Atwater, which provides direct access to the college from the station platform) and by bus (many routes have nearby stops, notably line 24 from downtown).

Accommodation
Preferred rates are available to workshop attendees at the nearby Hotel 2170. Studios with one queen bed (max 2 occupants) are available for $149/night plus applicable taxes. This rate includes internet access and buffet breakfast. Participants may book rooms directly through the hotel’s website or by phone (1-800-678-6323), but will require a code to receive the discounted rate. Please contact the conference organizers if you do not have the code. Note that the preferred rate is available only to those who book no later than May 1, 2023.
Dawson College is conveniently located in relation to Montreal’s subway system (Metro), so any accommodations in downtown Montreal are worth considering through the usual booking sites. Note that some Montreal hotels now give better rates when booking with them directly.
About the city
Montreal is a vibrant tourist destination year-round, but is especially pleasant during summer months. Here are some links which you may find relevant during your stay.
-
- Tourisme Montreal is the official tourism bureau for the city.
- Montreal is well-known for its food. Eater Montreal is an excellent general resource for where to eat in the city.
- For those looking for history and culture, here is a (subjective) list of Montreal’s top museums.
- If you are particularly interested in the performing arts, Place des Arts is the marquee destination; among other things, it houses the world class Orchestre symphonique de Montréal. However, the total options are too numerous to list (you can start searching/browsing for events here).
- You may wish to check out our Public Markets.
- Parc Mont Royal, located in the heart of the city, offers hiking trails and year-round events.
