We bring together presenters from across the world of animal behavior, from veterinary behaviorists and behavior consultants to researchers, geneticists, trainers, business and marketing experts, and zookeepers. This creates a unique environment for our attendees to learn from people they may never otherwise have come into contact with, and who can challenge them to think differently about how they work with their human and animal clients, wherever they are. This year we are reaching a wider audience than ever through our online livestreams! About the IAABC The International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants' mission is to elevate the standard of animal behavior consulting worldwide by promoting continuing education, peer support and development, ethical practices through the use of Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive (LIMA) principles, and the provision of quality resources for animal professionals and the pet-owning public.
