Join us for the 28th Annual Sitka WhaleFest
1st–3rd November 2024
Shifting Boundaries New Horizons
This year we follow how life is on the move in a dynamic ocean. Together we will learn how animals are redrawing the maps of their historical ranges, and how these distribution shifts are reshaping our ties to the land and water.
Science Symposium Speakers
The heart of Sitka WhaleFest is the three-day symposium, where world-renowned scientists share their current research. These presentations are unique because the speakers are chosen for their ability to communicate their work and engage a broad sweeping audience. This innovative science event gives future scientists and anyone interested in our oceans opportunities to meet and interact with a passionate and diverse group of speakers. Each afternoon, symposium participants and guest speakers will explore a daily theme connected to the overall theme of the symposium.
