The Householder meetings on Numerical Linear Algebra have been held roughly every three years since 1961. The twentieth, with the logo HHXX, was held June 18th through 23rd at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia. I've been to 17 of the meetings. They have been an important part of my professional life and I've written Cleve's Corner articles and blog posts about them, MathWorks News & Notes, and Householder XIX.

Conference Center

The meeting was held in a conference center on the edge of the Virginia Tech campus. There were about 150 attendees. We ate and stayed in the center, which was perfect for this kind of meeting.

My Talk

I gave the after dinner talk on Wednesday evening. I talked about some of my memories of the past meetings. Here's a video where I've recreated the talk.
