7th International Aquarium Conference

The International Aquarium Congress, commonly known as IAC, is probably the most important and prestigious event for the public aquarium industry. The congress takes place every four years and gathers professionals from public aquariums all around the world to share and learn about new developments in research, technology, management and other related issues for the industry. A mini exhibition is also organized during the event, providing an opportunity for businesses that offer products or services for the public aquarium industry.

Shanghai Ocean Aquarium will be the host for the 7th IAC with the theme “Progress and Conservation: The role of aquariums in protecting the aquatic environment”. It will be held in Shanghai from 19 - 24 October 2008. This is the first time IAC will be hosted in China with previous locations including Monaco, the United States and Japan.
