The Schubot Center is honored to be one of the primary sponsors of the upcoming International Psittacine Congress, a virtual event dedicated to advancing global parrot conservation efforts.
Dr. Brightsmith, is the lead organizer of this important gathering, which will bring together experts, students, and practitioners to share knowledge, foster collaboration, and develop strategies to protect psittacine species worldwide.

The event offers affordable registration rates and scholarships to support students and professionals from underrepresented regions.
As a key sponsor, the Schubot Center is proud to support the congress’s mission to facilitate scientific exchange and strengthen the network of individuals and organizations working to conserve psittacine in the wild and in managed care.
