The finite element rodeo is an annual, informal conference on finite element methods that rotates between several universities in Texas and Louisiana. In the beginning, we ask for all those willing to speak to come forward. We will use this information to determine the length of the talks and arrange a schedule.  The  total available time is then divided by the number of speakers. Usually, the time allotted per talk is 10-15 minutes. Talks by graduate students and postdocs are particularly encouraged.

The 2016 edition of the Finite Element Rodeo will be held at Texas A&M University on Friday and Saturday, March 4-5, 2016, beginning early afternoon on Friday and ending mid-afternoon on Saturday.
