2026 ZEW Wet Lab General Information

Our 2026 Wet Lab will take place on Saturday, January 31st and Sunday, February 1st, from 7 a.m.–5 p.m. The Wet Lab will feature labs and lectures from 6 different “tracks” (Avian, Small Mammal, Reptile, Marine, Wildlife, and Zoo), as well as a student-clinician roundtable & breakout sessions. Students will be able to customize their experience by choosing one track throughout the wet lab or by choosing to participate in labs and lectures from different tracks.
