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.
