There is also a Deformation Thoery talk on Friday Nov 3

Having presented the constructin of the free operad algebra on a vector space, we turn to quadratic operads and their duals, e.g. commutative algebras as dual to Lie algebras. Then we are ready to discuss the dg Lie algebra controlling the deformation theory of a quadratic operad algebra
