The Arizona Center for Nature Conservation, Phoenix Zoo and South Mountain Environmental Education Center invite you to the 2018 Conference of the Association of Zoo and Aquarium Docents and Volunteers (AZADV). Held April 10 – 15, 2018 in Phoenix, AZADV Conferences are a time to learn and network with others who share a passion for the natural world – all while having loads of fun!

In addition to the AZADV Conference, a variety of optional trips offer extraordinary opportunities to enjoy the sights and wonders of Arizona. These social times will undoubtedly include plenty of fun with AZADV friends along with chances to meet new colleagues who share a passion for animals and nature.

The host hotel is the Sheraton Mesa at Wrigleyville West, located eight miles from both Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport and the Phoenix Zoo. Many restaurants and shops are located within walking distance or a short ride on the complimentary hotel shuttle. Lounge around the pools or walk along the paths through the lush lawn of the adjoining park to unwind from the day’s activities.
