The 2010 meeting of the American Society of Primatologists will be held at the historic Seelbach Hilton Hotel in downtown Louisville, Kentucky. We encourage preparation of proposals for symposia and abstracts for paper and poster sessions. In addition to the usual schedule of special lectures, research paper, and other professional events; there will be opportunities to visit the Louisville Zoo and observe training sessions with several species of primates. Those interested in primate sanctuaries will be able to make a special excursion to the Primate Rescue Center near Nicholasville, Kentucky.

Deadlines for Abstract Submission

Preliminary abstracts for symposia and workshops should be submitted to Matthew Novak, Program Committee Chair, by January 8, 2010 (mfsxnovak@msn.com). Final abstracts for symposia, workshops, oral presentations, and posters are due March 14, 2010.

Area Highlights

June is one of the most beautiful times to visit the Louisville area. Spring rains produce abundant green foliage that can be enjoyed at special places such as Bernheim Forest (30 minutes), Falls of the Ohio Indiana State Park (10 minutes), and Mammoth Cave National Park (90 minutes). Plan to see some of these places before or after the meetings.

The Seelbach Hotel is located only a brief trolley ride from several museums and other points of interest. These include Glassworks, Louisville Slugger Museum, Louisville Science Center, Muhammad Ali Center, Frazier International History Museum, and the Belle of Louisville paddle boat. Other attractions within the city may be reached by car, bus, or taxi-Speed Art Museum, Churchhill Downs, and the Kentucky Derby Museum.
