The International Symposium on Freshwater Stingray Biology will now take place at the Shedd Aquarium, on August 7th and 8th.

Starts at 8am each day

we have a special rate of $139/day at the Downtown Holiday Inn and Suites on Harrison Avenue, which is about one mile from the Shedd. The hotel phone number is 312-957-9100, and ask for the Stingray Symposium rate. There is a shuttle bus from the airport, check with the hotel for that information. We have 15 rooms blocked for the Symposium at this time.

Lisa,

My husband and I are signed up for the symposium and are wondering too if we will get anything in advance for us to get into the Shedd or just show up at 8 and tell employees why we're here? We are beyond excited to take part in this event!
 
For the people asking were to go and how we will be getting into the shedd, an email will be sent out this week with all details if they did not put down an email on the registration form, please pm any questions to csx4236 and he will send the info.
 
Its in the Educational Center on the lower floor. Kinda hard to find, its not in the main areas of the aquarium, so ask somone who works there about Stingray Symposium (alot of employees didn't even know what I was talking about). There is a door around the side/back that will take you straight there, but good luck finding it.
