Webinar
This event is fully accessible.
Join us for this year’s ZSL Zoos and Conservation Careers Conference – the perfect event for anyone looking to pursue an animal related career. This year our event will be hybrid, with both in person and online tickets available for the first time.
Bringing together speakers from across international conservation charity ZSL, our careers conference will introduce the huge diversity of roles across the worlds of animal care and conservation, from veterinarian to field scientist and everything in between.
Participants will get a behind the scenes look at working with wildlife. The day will include live talks from experts, tips to follow the career of your dreams, networking opportunities and the chance to put your burning questions to experts in these fields.
Whether you know what wildlife career you want to pursue and are looking for advice, or simply have a passion for animals and don't know which direction to head in, this day will leave you with lots of inspiration on the next steps to take.
