Workshop 2023: #CaregiverStrong

NOTICE: This is a historical page. NAPSA Workshop 2023 has already taken place.

Join us - Caregiver or not!

Attend, network and learn from primate and sanctuary experts as we explore topics from the practical to the theoretical – all to ensure the highest quality of care for captive nonhuman primates, and appreciation for those who care for them.

NAPSA Workshop 2023 will be in Atlanta, GA

Workshop presentations will take place on May 16th and 17th at The Whitley, Atlanta Buckhead. Registration includes a vegan breakfast and coffee and snack breaks on both days.
