The 2010 Phenomenology Symposium was held May 10-12, 2010 at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. PHENO 10 covered the latest topics in particle phenomenology and theory plus related issues in astrophysics and cosmology. Now that the LHC has begun its historic mission, we are all excited about the prospect of new discoveries. PHENO 10 Organizers: Vernon Barger, Neil Christensen, Linda Dolan, Lisa Everett, Francis Halzen, Tao Han (chair), Ian-Woo Kim, Frank Petriello, Sogee Spinner, Xerxes Tata and Maike Trenkel.
