The 2020 meeting in Philadelphia, PA was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 2021 meeting was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Events

MathFest features many annual lectures, such as the Earle Raymond Hedrick Lecture Series, which consists of up to three lectures by the same presenter, on three consecutive days, [7] and the AWM-MAA Falconer Lecture, which is given by a distinguished female mathematician or mathematics educator.
