Final details are shaping up for the PSA Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, August 8-13, 2015. There are pre-meeting workshops, field trips, an auction and poster session, a great set of scientific sessions and plenaries, topped off by a banquet among the dinosaurs at the Academy of Natural Sciences on the Ben Franklin Parkway.

Registration will take place at the same place where the scientific sessions occur, from 3-6 pm Sunday Aug. 9. Registration is in the Creese Student Center, located on the corner of 33rd Street and Chestnut (see map attached). You can find the registration tables just outside Behrakis Grand Hall.

Registration will be followed immediately by the Opening Reception, in the Grand Hall itself.

If you are staying in the Race Street Dormitory, please try to check in between 3-6 pm on Saturday and Sunday, as this is when The Events Staff will be on hand at the reception desk to check you in. If your arrival plans require you to check in at a different time, go to the reception desk in the dorm and they will arrange for you to check in, although there might be a slight delay. Note that the reception desk is open 8 am to 11 pm, so please arrive within that time frame.

If you are driving, park in Lot D (see map) and walk the 2 blocks to the Race Street Dorm reception desk for a permit. You will have time to return it to your car in Lot D then return to check in to your room.
