This conference focused on the future of whale, dolphin and porpoise conservation and the next generation of experts working to protect them.  

Activities included: speaker sessions with world-renowned experts, book signings, whale film screening with the featured anatomist and the film's Director via Skype, 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 also held our traditional pre-conference all-day whale watching trip on Friday, November 2nd, and ventured out into the rich southern California waters between Catalina Island and Orange County.
