Conferences & Events

Our team of experts attend and host events worldwide to bring aquatic animal welfare to the forefront of discussions on sustainability, global health, and corporate and legislative agendas. Both in-person and online, we believe important advances can be made through shared knowledge and productive discussion. We have seen that great change can come from aquatic animal welfare being introduced into high-leverage spaces and forums where it was previously absent.

Find out where our team is going next and learn more about the webinars we host in collaboration with the Aquatic Animal Alliance’s member organizations below.
