Changing Hearts, Minds and Ultimately Behaviours
28th August - 1st September

IZE-logo-232-2

Registration is now open for the 21st biennial conference of the International Zoo Educators Association hosted by Chester Zoo.

We hope you can join us in Chester for our 21st biennial conference. This is the first time IZE has been in the UK since 1984 and we are determined to make it the best conference ever!

The links below should provide you with everything you need to know and more information will be added at regular intervals between now and the start of the conference.

We’ll be at the Chester Racecourse for most of the conference and right next door is the Holiday Inn Express Racecourse hotel where we’ve reserved 80 twin/double rooms at a special delegate rate of £65 per room per night which is great value for money, especially if you’re sharing!

The hotel is taking reservations now by phone or email and we would advise booking rooms as soon as possible. Payment will, of course, only be taken when you arrive in Chester.

The conference fee is £265 for IZE Members and £310 for others. This includes a welcome reception and buffet, lunch, coffee and refreshments on each day of the conference, the farewell dinner and a complimentary ticket to the famous County Stand so you can enjoy the excitement of the racing at the end of the conference.

Please note deadline for abstract submission has been extended to Friday 2nd March.
