The Fifty-seventh Southeastern International Conference on Combinatorics, Graph Theory, and Computing (SEICCGTC) will be held March 9-13, 2026 in the
Student Union
at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, FL. The main campus is located three miles from the Atlantic Ocean, on an 850-acre site in Boca Raton, south of Palm Beach and north of Fort Lauderdale and Miami. The climate is subtropical with an average temperature of 75 degrees.
This years 57th conference will be a fully in-person conference held on our beautiful campus in lovely Boca Raton, Florida!
Celebrating its 57th year, the Conference brings together mathematicians and others interested in combinatorics, graph theory and computing, and their interactions. The Conference lectures and contributed papers, as well as the opportunities for informal conversations, have proven to be of great interest to other scientists and analysts employing these mathematical sciences in their professional work in business, industry, and government.
The Conference continues to promote better understanding of the roles of modern applied mathematics, combinatorics, and computer science to acquaint the investigator in each of these areas with the various techniques and algorithms which are available to assist in his or her research. Each discipline has contributed greatly to the others, and the purpose of the Conference is to decrease even further the gaps between the fields.
The organizing committee members (Frederick Hoffman, Ronald C. Mullin, and Stephen Locke, and Maria Provost) cordially invite participation in our Conference by interested persons in the academic community as well as business, industry and government. The conference advisory committee members are: Miklos Bona, (University of Florida); Martin Golumbic, (University of Haifa); Leslie Hogben (American Institute on Mathematics (AIM)); Sarah Heuss (University of South Carolina, Union); Ilias Kotsireas (Wilfrid Laurier University), Linda Lesniak (Western Michigan University); Ricahrd Low (San Jose Sate University), Ivelisse Rubio (University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras); John Wierman (Johns Hopkins University), Maria Provost, (Florida Atlantic University).
The 57th Conference is partially supported by the National Science Foundation and the Institute for Combinatorics and its Applications.
The Southeastern International Conference on Combinatorics, Graph Theory & Computing welcomes all people. The conference encourages the free expression and exchange of ideas in a respectful manner. All participants are expected to conduct themselves professionally and abide by all laws and university regulations ( FAU Code of Conduct ). If you have any concerns about your conference experience, please contact Leslie Hogben at hogben@aimath.org or Maria Provost at mprovost@fau.edu.
