EAZA Directors' Days 2025

EAZA Directors' Days 2025 is hosted by Oceanogràfic Valencia (Spain) from 1-4 April 2025.

The venue location is the Red Sea Auditorium at the Oceanogràfic (Address: C/ d'Eduardo Primo Yúfera, 1, Quatre Carreres, 46013 València). Council meeting on Tuesday will be held at the nearby hotel.

In this edition of EAZA Directors’ Days, we reflect on the advancements and challenges from the 2021-2025 strategic period, and focus on the direction of travel toward progressive animal care and population management, in situ conservation priorities and support for Members to achieve their goals. Directors will have direct opportunity to make their voices heard through workshops focusing on the future of EAZA and where the Community sees itself in 5, 10 and 25 years. The AGM and Council will also meet. The new Council with a term of 2025-2028 will elect the new EAZA Chair. We invite you to share, learn, and build on each other's vision for the strategic direction of our zoos and aquariums and EAZA.

We are excited to welcome the following honoured speakers:

• Grethel Aguilar, IUCN Director General

• Sharon Dewar, Public Communications, Inc.

The conference venue is located within Oceanogràfic and meetings will be held in the Red Sea Auditorium. Exhibition is located next to the main hall. Both icebreaker and farewell dinner will take place at the Oceanogràfic.

The Whova app will be used as the main communication platform, including the up to date programme, announcements, and exhibitors' and delegate information.
