BIAZA Records Group Meeting 2025

Please join us at Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm for the 20^th annual BIAZA Records Group Meeting! Tuesday the 30^th will focus on animal records and data management and Wednesday the 1^st will focus on animal transfers and legislation with guest speakers from the UK CITES Team.

The BIAZA Records group meeting costs £40 for each day’s attendance or £70 if booking both days.  This is to cover costs of guest speakers and includes all lunch and refreshment fees.  We believe this fee should not prevent anyone attending the meeting but will help the Records Group expand their activities and cover the expenses of holding the meeting. This payment should be paid as part of the online registration process.
