The Oxford Algorithms Day will take place on the 15th April 2015. It's the latest in a series of one-day algorithms meetings that have been held on an ad-hoc basis at various UK universities that have algorithms/computational complexity research groups. Below is a list of previous similar events, most of which have better acronyms than this one.
