AviChat - Houston Bird Week 2022

AviChat is a series of brief, informal, science talks about bird conservation and research hosted by the Houston Audubon YPAC during Houston Bird Week. Attendees will hear from local individuals and organizations about their projects related to bird and/or land conservation on the Upper Texas Coast, including planned and completed research. The presentations will be followed by a networking period with the purpose of starting conversations among people who could collaborate productively to further the mission of bird and wildlife conservation in our region! This is not your normal conference – we’re keeping the slots short, with no time for questions until you can chat with the presenter over a drink!

Talks will be held at Rice University, Brockman Hall for Physics, starting at 1 pm. A networking happy hour will follow at Valhalla, Rice's graduate student pub on campus, beginning at 5 pm. 

Tickets are $10 for the general public, $5 for students, and free for event speakers.

Houston Bird Week, from September 17-24, is a celebration of the important role Houston plays in the lives of billions of resident and migratory birds. Houston Audubon and local conservation partners coordinate a week of in-person and virtual events centered around our region's birds and wildlife - from birding and volunteer opportunities to trivia and movie nights, there is something for all!
