2026 AZH Annual Conference

Thank you to everyone who joined us in Chicago for another incredible Association of Zoological Horticulture annual conference! The energy, shared expertise, and passion for advancing botanical standards across our institutions made this year's gathering truly memorable. We extend our deepest gratitude to our generous sponsors, whose support makes this conference possible, as well as our fantastic host institutions—Brookfield Zoo, Lincoln Park Zoo, and Shedd Aquarium. Opening your doors, sharing your grounds, and providing operational insight gave our community invaluable hands-on learning experiences.

As we wrap up an inspiring week, we’re already looking ahead to our next gathering. Mark your calendars, because we can't wait to see everyone next year in Saint Louis!
