NADS Field Meetings

Field meetings of the North American Dipterists Society are held every two years at different venues in North America. The meetings provide an opportunity for North American dipterists to collect Diptera in a group situation and to exchange ideas during oral and poster presentations. In keeping with the informal nature of the Society, the meetings are organized on a volunteer basis by a dipterist who knows of a location that has meeting facilities for about 30-40 people and easy access to interesting habitats.

2011 North American Dipterists Society Field Meeting

Wasatch Mountains of northern Utah

7-10 June 2011

The 2011 field meeting of the North American Dipterists Society will be held 7-10 June 2011 on the eastern slopes of Mount Timpanogos in the Wasatch Mountains of scenic northern Utah. Our accommodations will be in the historic Timp Lodge of Brigham Young University (see figure below). This site is adjacent to the Sundance Ski Area with its rich history of environmental and cultural awareness. On behalf of the NADS, I invite you to attend this meeting which will consist of field interactions, congenial conversations, and as formal of presentations as attendees propose. This will bring together Dipterists from throughout North America and the world to rub shoulders and explore new and continuing friendships and research opportunities.
