Oamaru Penguin Symposium 1-2 May, 2025

The Oamaru Penguin Symposium will be held in Oamaru, on Thursday 1st and Friday 2nd of May.

The Oamaru Penguin Symposium is a biennial meeting attended by researchers, volunteers, field workers, students and rehabilitators from all types of organisations. The symposium began in the late 1990’s as the “Blue Penguin Scientific Symposium” and grew to include other New Zealand penguin species, species from outside New Zealand, and even the occasional non-penguin seabird talk!

The venue is the Oamaru Opera House with the day meetings held in the O.D.T Inkbox theatrette.
