Conference Proceedings (1997 - 2008 and the CD of 1993 - 2002)
SASI’s annual Invertebrates in Education and Conservation Conference (IECC) brings together zoo, aquarium, museum, exhibit design and education professionals, and interested general public, to share their experiences. The Conference includes three mornings of paper presentations and three afternoons of specialty workshops and field trips. Conservative collecting is allowed on most trips. Full-day field trips the day before the Conference provide opportunities for those who really want to experience Southern Arizona’s unique diversity.

The Conference has grown from the initial 70 participants its first year, with an average of 130 - 140 attendees. Each year the Conference expands and refines different aspects of the Program based on participant surveys. Registration fees are kept as low as possible to encourage broad participation. Support from our valuable Sponsors helps to keep fees reasonable.
