TriState (Plus) Conference on Animal Learning & Behavior

Description: TriState(Plus) provides an opportunity for investigators of animal behavior to get together regularly to discuss their work, share ideas, and generally have a good time.  The conference has occurred more or less annually since 1987, and originally involved psychologists from Indiana, Kentucky, & Ohio.  Recent meetings have drawn people from Michigan, ..., and even Ontario, Canada.

The conference is loosely organized at best - even the existence of this web page bothers some regular attendees because it suggests a level of organization that does not exist.  Nonetheless, the conferences typically run smoothly and offer lots of fertile scientific discussion.

TriState normally occurs in April or May, depending on the schedule of the hosting institution.  The conference typically lasts from early afternoon on one day to lunchtime the next day.  There is no registration fee, and the host institution provides lodging, dinner, and breakfast.

Next Meeting:  

• 2008: March 28-29, University of Kentucky (Friday afternoon through Saturday morning). From the organizer: "... This meeting provides an excellent opportunity for you and your students to hear about the research being conducted in the Indiana-Kentucky-Ohio region (as well as representation from Michigan and Ontario, Canada) and to present your own research. Although priority will be given to student presentations, faculty presentations are also welcome. The meeting is free and as host of this year's meeting, the University of Kentucky will provide free overnight accommodations for those who request it....

  We are looking forward to another interesting and enjoyable meeting and hope you can all attend.
