About the Conference

The IAABC Conference is a multi-species, multi-track event taking place over four days. 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! On Thursday April 4th, we are bringing a day of Spanish-language content featuring some top names in the animal behavior field: Ken Ramirez, Jesus Rosalez-Ruiz, Teo Mariscal, and more. On Friday April 5th, we'll be streaming a selection of English-language presentations,  Both livestreams will be free to IAABC members, and $50 for non-members.
