Newquay Zoo is proud to be hosting the 8th UK and Ireland Regional Environmental Enrichment Conference from 10-12 June 2020.

SHAPE-UK and Ireland is the regional division of The Shape of Enrichment, Inc. that is dedicated to furthering enrichment efforts in the UK and Ireland. The mission of REEC meetings is to provide a venue for animal carers from smaller regions of the world to meet and discuss environmental enrichment. All of our meetings have been a great success; featuring workshops, keynote speakers and practical sessions to encourage and inform animal care staff about enrichment.

Join us for REEC 2020 in Newquay for what promises to be another fantastic conference packed with keynote speakers, talks, workshops and, of course, some great social events.

Early bird registration for the 2020 meeting is open until 31 March 2020 at a cost of £150 per delegate. This includes a pre-conference icebreaker on the evening of Tuesday 9th June and attendance at all three conference days.

There will be a conference social event on Thursday 11th June at an additional cost of £20.

After the early bird deadline, the registration cost will rise to £170.
