The American Cetacean Society's 2018 conference will focus on the future of whale, dolphin and porpoise conservation and the next generation of experts working to protect them.
Activities will include: speaker sessions with world-renowned experts, book signings, the world-premier of a BBC whale film with the director, a poster session including a student research poster contest, student career workshop with scientists, a photography contest, a silent auction, vendor exhibits, and much more! We will also hold our traditional pre-conference all-day whale watching trip on Friday November 2nd, and will venture out into the rich southern California waters between Catalina Island and Orange County.
