Live Collections CoP: February 2027 Virtual Meet-up

Connect with colleagues from across the ASTC Live Collections Community for an informal, peer-to-peer discussion focused on the opportunities, challenges, and emerging trends shaping our work. This open forum provides a space to share experiences, ask questions, brainstorm solutions, and learn from one another in a supportive environment. Each session is participant-driven, allowing attendees to bring current projects, operational challenges, animal care questions, exhibit ideas, and professional development topics to the conversation. Whether you’re seeking advice, looking to share a successful practice, or simply interested in hearing how other institutions are approaching similar issues, this discussion series offers valuable networking and knowledge-sharing opportunities.

Topics may include:

  • Animal care and welfare practices
  • Habitat design and enrichment
  • Program development and guest engagement
  • Staffing, training, and workforce development
