The University of Minnesota, the Bell Museum of Natural History and the College of Biological Sciences is pleased to host “Evolution 2008," the joint annual meeting of the Society for the Study of Evolution (SSE), the Society of Systematic Biologists (SSB), and the American Society of Naturalists (ASN). The meeting will be held June 20-24, 2008, on the Minneapolis campus of the University of Minnesota.

This meeting is the premier annual opportunity for sharing scientific research related to evolution. Symposia presentations, concurrent contributed papers, and poster sessions will be presented by the 1,200 expected participants. Product and service providers will contribute to the meeting activity through their exhibits. Related activities will include an opening reception, a picnic, a banquet, and two poster receptions.

The University of Minnesota venue is in the center of a vibrant metropolitan area of three million people that offers a diverse variety of cultural, entertainment, dining, and sports experiences. It also offers the opportunity for pre- or post- meeting exploration of Minnesota; from its Boundary Waters Canoe Area, Lake Superior and the port of Duluth, the prairies of southwestern Minnesota, to the headwaters of the Mississippi River at Lake Itasca.

We look forward to welcoming you to Evolution 2008 and are eager to answer your questions to make your participation here a productive and memorable experience.
