The conference continues a well established tradition of Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Geometry meetings in the Midwest, among which we single out MAGC97 at the University of Notre Dame in 1997, BACH² at the University of Kentucky in 2003, the Lipman-Fest at Purdue University in 2004, MAGIC'05 at the University of Notre Dame in 2005, the Purdue-UIC Workshop at Purdue University in 2006, and the Hartshorne's 70th birthday conference at the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2008, the second Bluegrass Algebra Conference at the University of Kentucky in 2009, the Libgober’s 60th birthday conference at the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2009, and MAGIC'10 at the University of Notre Dame in 2010.

Young mathematicians are especially encouraged to attend. This conference is supported in part by

1. the Institute for Mathematics and its Application (IMA) through its Participating Institution (PI) Program.
   PI members may use IMA/PI funds to support travel of their personnel to this conference;
2. the National Science Foundation (NSF) through the Special Algebra Meetings in the Midwest grant (NSF DMS-0753127).
