2007 International Education Symposium
January 18 - 22, 2007

Dallas, Texas, USA

For almost 30 years, IWRC has held annual conferences for wildlife care professionals.  During these three decades many such conferences have evolved and grown for the benefit of wildlife rehabilitators.  States, regions and a variety of umbrella organizations hold gatherings at which people share their own experiences, network with each other and may have the opportunity to take a course or a workshop.

This time, we're doing something different. This time we are offering a weeks worth of full-day courses and workshops delivered by prominent professionals in their fields.  Here we can learn practical skills to take home and implement. There will also be opportunities to network, join in spontaneous round tables, and socialize with friends.


This is the first time in wildlife rehabilitation history that an event of this type and caliber has been offered.  Join your colleagues at this ground-breaking event, with training courses, seminars and workshops presented by leaders in their fields:
