The 8th International Aquarium Congress

The IAC is probably the most important and prestigious event for the public aquarium industry. The Congress, which is held every four years, gathers professionals from public aquariums around the world to share and learn about new developments in research, technology, management and other industry issues. A mini-exhibition is held concurrently, providing an opportunity for businesses involved in the public aquarium industry to showcase their products and services.

Mandarin- or Japanese-speaking delegates will have access to simultaneous multi-language translation at the 2012 IAC.
