23rd Annual Symposium on the Conservation and Biology of Tortoises and Freshwater Turtles

The most esteemed global event of its kind, the Symposium, hosted by Turtle Survival Alliance and the IUCN/SSC Tortoise and Freshwater Turtle Specialist Group, provides an unmatched opportunity for researchers, conservationists, and enthusiasts to share groundbreaking research, initiatives, techniques, and accomplishments in the field.

This year, we’re proud to partner with our presenting sponsor, the Tennessee Aquarium, and collaborate with the Chattanooga Tourism Co. to deliver an unforgettable experience for our attendees.

We can’t wait to see you in Chattanooga next July for this extraordinary gathering of conservation minds! For all details on lodging, abstracts & sessions, and more, please visit our Symposium Page.
