Willi Hennig Society Annual Meeting
Updates
Dear Participants
Because the annual Hennig meeting has no concurrent talks and issues with participants attending limitations, we have made a considerable effort to accommodate everyone's schedules.
However, it is possible that we still have some scheduling issues; these will be addressed at the beginning of the meeting on Monday, July 10. We will accommodate your talk one way or another.
The final meeting program (updated 07-11-2023) and abstract booklet are available for download.
If you are presenting, please bring your presentation files on a USB flash drive (also known as a thumb drive, memory stick, pendrive, etc.) Presentation files will be uploaded at the beginning of the day. As a precaution, it is advisable to put a copy of your files in the cloud should your USB drive get lost or malfunction.
See you on Sunday
