AZA Annual Conference

The 2021 Association of Zoos and Aquariums Annual Conference will take place virtually. While we all wish we could be together in-person, the health and safety of attendees comes first. The Virtual Annual Conference will provide for the ability to share information with a wider audience and allow attendees to revisit presentations they missed through recordings.

Call for Papers deadline was Friday, May 21.

Registration is now open! The early bird deadline is Friday, August 20.

Schedule information will be available in early July.
