Welcome AFS 2010 Attendees!

Annual Meeting Supplement to the June Fisheries

There’s no place like Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, for the 140th meeting of the American Fisheries Society.

Join us downtown September 12-16, 2010, at the spectacular Westin Hotel and the David L. Lawrence Convention Center.

Pittsburgh is renowned for its arts, entertainment and recreational opportunities. With fabulous dining, world-class museums and innovative art galleries, Pittsburgh is one of the top travel destinations in the world. Sporting opportunities are diverse. Pittsburgh is home to Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers, Stanley Cup Champion Pittsburgh Penguins and the Pittsburgh Pirates. On the water, enjoy fishing along Pittsburgh’s river banks for bass and other game fish.

Explore beyond the city. You will find solace in the mountains of western Pennsylvania for hiking or native brook trout fishing. Try white water rafting in the rapids of the Youghiogheny River.

With so much to see and do, you’ll find Pittsburgh is a city with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We look forward to seeing you in September 2010.
