BellFest 2010 will take place at the University of Vermont in Burlington June 12-15. This will be a celebration of the 50-year career of Ross and Joyce Bell (Department of Biology, University of Vermont) in biological education and insect systematics.  Colleagues and other friends will gather in Burlington to participate in a reception, symposium, banquet, and – for those who choose - a day in the field for insect collecting. The symposium will feature two days of scientific presentations (talks and posters).   Within a year of the meeting, plans include the publication of a Festschrift, based primarily on presentations.

The announcement for BellFest can be found at the link below.  People who are interested in attending are invited to download the registration/accommodation form, fill it out for both registration and room reservations and send it directly to Jessica Rykken (address and more details at the link below) in advance of the required 28 May deadline.
