The EAZA Annual Conference is the largest gathering of zoo and aquarium professionals in Europe, offering a unique platform for sharing knowledge, best practices, and innovations in animal care, conservation, and education. The 2026 edition will take place in Paris, France, supported by EAZA and the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle.

Researchers, institution directors, conservation experts, NGO representatives and industry partners will meet to share knowledge, reflect on future challenges, and strengthen their collective commitment to biodiversity. Beyond the scientific conferences and workshops held at the Palais des Congrès in Issy-les-Moulineaux, participants will also discover the richness of Paris’s zoos and enjoy unique social events from the Grande Galerie de l’Évolution to a gala dinner on the Seine.
