Conference Format

Oxford Abstracts & Creature Conferences

Oxford Abstracts will again host our conference, and Creature Conferences management will again provide our livestream support. We hope this consistency from the last two years inspires confidence in our conference programming. We are also in the process of organizing some terrific Zoom opportunities for socializing and networking, as well as to encourage those “hallway” conversations we often lose in the virtual environment.

Again, we appreciate your feedback. More details will follow as we move forward with our adjusted plans. Please email conferences@isaz.net if you have any questions.

Take care,

ISAZ 2022 Host Committee and ISAZ President
