Events
BIAZA runs events throughout the year for zoos and aquariums designed to share ideas and best practice and to work together to achieve higher standards of education, research, conservation and animal welfare, as well as a better place for visitors to enjoy a day out.
We also advertise non-BIAZA events which may be of interest to zoos, aquariums and visitors to the site.
Look out for the BIAZA Endorsed logo to have confidence that the event or resource aligns with BIAZA's ethos and standards and is evidence-based, reflecting current best practice.
