The International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants Foundations’ Animal Behavior Conference will be held this year in Asheville, North Carolina and via livestream May 1st-3rd. The IAABC Foundation, sister organization to the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (the IAABC), is hosting its annual conference at the DoubleTree by Hilton Asheville – Biltmore and you’re invited!

Explore, discover and learn from experts in dog, cat behavior, horse behavior, and more. You’ll have the opportunity to attend over 30 educational sessions, covering topics such as:

Working with the human-animal, understanding social cognition and behavior of people and the importance of building community
Interdisciplinary and innovative approaches to emotional regulation, understanding disorders
Animal ethics, social constructions and defining “good training”
And much more!

In addition to the educational sessions, the IAABC Foundation is hosting 3 unique off-site events to kick off the conference. Choose to visit the first-of-its-kind facility, ASPCA Behavioral Rehabilitation Center (BRC), enter the fascinating world of parrot behavior at Phoenix Landing or learn from a panel of renowned equine educators. Last year’s attendees benefited from these amazing learning and networking opportunities. Now you can, too!
