New for 2024!


Continuously adapting to meet the needs of our members, the FAA is thrilled to introduce a new series of professional development programs - Expedition FAA. Our inaugural event will focus on the crucial topic of branding, emphasizing how your brand impacts your staff, community, and guests.

Here's a glimpse of what you can anticipate...

  • An exclusive opportunity to learn about the remarkable transformation of ZooTampa at Lowry Park. This rebranding process has not only enhanced the zoo's image but has also resulted in numerous benefits that continue to support the zoo to this day.  Hear directly from the industry professional who led the project.
  • Participate in a behind-the-scenes tour of ZooTampa, where you will gain insight into how dedicated zookeepers protect, curate, and exhibit their diverse collection of species from around the world.
  • Engage in four topical roundtable discussions with your fellow FAA members, allowing for in-depth conversations on various industry issues in a small-group setting.
  • Complete a Clifton Strengths assessment, followed by a workshop to discuss your results (a $25 value).
