Asian Attractions Expo 2018

Animal Welfare: Trends, Issues and Strategies Forum (Room Room S428)

Over the past decade, public concern about the welfare and rights of animals has grown exponentially. The implications of these trends are significant and profound for zoos, aquariums, attractions, and parks that display or feature animals. Join Jim Hekkers, retired managing director of the Monterey Bay Aquarium, as he leads a day-long forum exploring the key components of these issues, with a focus on providing actionable information about how organizations can understand, cope with, and proactively manage potential public criticism.
