Join leaders, experts, and advocates from across the zoological community for a groundbreaking joint symposium hosted by ZAA, AMMPA, and CAZA. This first-ever collaborative event brings together professionals from across North America for three days of sessions focused on advancing animal care, conservation, policy, and public trust.

Held at the Renaissance Orlando at SeaWorld, the symposium features general sessions, expert panels, interactive workshops, and extensive networking opportunities. Highlights include discussions on global animal welfare, government relations, and cross-organizational collaboration, as well as a special reception at SeaWorld Orlando. Attendees can also participate in skill-building workshops on research-driven storytelling, external advocacy, leadership development, and a hands-on live animal transport training offered by ZDR3.

This event provides the tools, insights, and connections needed to strengthen advocacy and shape the future of zoos and aquariums.
