This is a link to websites
of the biennial meetings Poisson 2000+2n, where n=0,1,2,...., and a
meeting in Warsaw in 1998. There is also a link to "Gone
Fishing", a new series of weekend meetings on Poisson geometry.
The first of these meetings was held at The Washington University
in St. Louis, at the end of October, 2011.
The second was held at
UCLA at the end of September, 2012.
Poisson 2012 was held in
Utrecht, the Netherlands. Poisson 2014 will be held at the University
of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana.
External funding is expected for
travel by graduate students and postdocs to Poisson 2014.
Preprint versions of most of my papers written since 1993 can be found on the ArXiv, via this link. MathSci reviews of my published papers, including links to online versions of many of them may be found here.
Links to some other papers may be found below.

From
Riemann geometry to Poisson geometry and back again (video of
lecture at Chern Symposium, MSRI, March 6,
1998)
Modular
classes and the volume of a differentiable stack ("slides"
from lecture at Poisson 2008, EPFL Lausanne,
