Guest speakers come from various institutions and their lectures are often illustrated with slides.
The annual dinner, followed by the annual meeting and election of officers, is held during the second week of March. Until further notice anyone attending a Linnaean Society meeting at the AMNH is asked to enter the building on Central Park West and 79th Street. The entrance is under the steps below the statue of Teddy Roosevelt. The 77th Street entrance will be closed. Because of heightened security requirements, anyone entering the museum for an evening program may be asked to open bags and briefcases for inspection.
