1. ZAA Conference and Icebreaker at Territory Wildlife Park 

Darwin proudly hosted the ZAA Conference 2025, themed “Towards 2050”, from 29 July to 1 August. Key speakers and delegates came together to share ideas, insights, and future-focused visions for the zoo and aquarium community.

As part of the conference program, Territory Wildlife Park hosted a special evening icebreaker event, showcasing our Flight Deck bird presentation and an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour highlighting park operations and current projects. It was a fantastic opportunity for colleagues from across the region to connect, share experiences, and celebrate our shared commitment to wildlife conservation.

The ZAA conference was a 2025 highlight for many, and we are excited to invite you to join us for the 2026 Zoo and Aquarium Association Conference, hosted by Auckland Zoo. This event will bring together zoo and aquarium professionals from across Australasia to share knowledge, inspire innovation, and strengthen our community of conservation leaders.
