Every two years we bring together Caribbean and international wildlife professionals, ornithologists, educators, decision makers, the eco-tourism industry, community leaders, students and others to share information and learn about the latest research and innovative initiatives to conserve Caribbean birds and their habitats. More than 250 people from 30 countries attend our conferences in person, with thousands more reading the papers produced by the conference and interacting with the live sessions and other on-line conference resources. Because of this it is one of the most important networking and educational opportunities for Caribbean conservationists, students, and community leaders creating sustainable change across the region.
