Celebrating 50 Years of Zoos and Zookeeping Thriving
Melbourne, VIC
19-22nd March 2026
In 2026, we’re marking a major milestone – 50 years of the Australasian Society of Zoo Keeping. To celebrate, our annual ASZK Conference will be held in Melbourne, bringing together passionate professionals from across the region.
With the theme “50 Years of Zoos and Zookeeping Thriving,” this special edition of our conference will honour the legacy of those who came before us, reflect on how far we’ve come, and look forward to the future of progressive, collaborative animal care and conservation.
Call for papers opens 1 September 2025, with registrations opening in October 2025.
For enquiries, please contact eo@aszk.org.au
We are seeking partners who recognise and support the work ASZK has been doing for the past 49 years to help us celebrate our 50th anniversary as a partner.
We would like to thank our conference partners
