Greetings from the ASP Program Committee! Most of you will receive this announcement electronically this year as we continue to convert to an on-line abstract submission and registration process. You will not receive a packet in the mail. Information about the meeting venue, ASP abstract preparation and presentation guidelines, instructions for students who wish to apply for poster and paper awards are all available at the ASP 2004 conference website . I look forward to seeing everyone in Madison in June!

In addition to being published in the American Journal of Primatology, all abstracts will be available for viewing online.

We encourage everyone to register and submit their abstract online. There are 2 choices:

• No abstract - you can register online or by mail.

• Submitting abstract - register and submit abstract online or send both in the mail.

You may not mix online and by-mail methods.

If you need assistance, here is my contact information.
