Today (30 June) is the last day to enjoy the early-bird rate to attend the 11th International Aquarium Congress (IAC) at Nausicaá in Boulogne-sur-Mer, France.
The early-bird rate is €570 for the IAC event, which takes place from 30 October through 4 November. From 1 July, the cost will be €670.
IAC will be a hybrid event this year. Guests can attend in person, and those who can’t travel to the venue can take part online. The virtual meeting will be held at the same time, and will feature the same content.
Anyone who has already paid for a virtual ticket and wants to attend the event at Nausicaa in person can complete their registration here.
“IAC 2022 is a unique opportunity for aquariums to share best practice and present their common priorities, discuss the societal impact of the activities and analyse the solutions they propose,” said Christophe Sirugue, general director of Nausicaá.
Event at Nausicaá starts in October
“The organisation is ready to provide you with a rich and diverse congress,” Sirugue added.
The theme for this year’s International Aquarium Congress is ‘Aquariums: engaged and active on behalf of the blue planet’. The programme is available here.
The secondary themes for IAC 2022 are as follows:
- Technological developments
- Reproduction
- Animal care
- Conservation
- Scenographic design and production of cultural and scientific content

The programme, which can be viewed here, features expert keynote speakers and a range of presentations. Blooloop is proud to be the media partner for IAC 2022.
