Symposia and Professional Programs

Broaden your horizons and join us for a symposium or professional program. Every year we offer diverse programs with internationally acclaimed speakers for every kind of adult student. These programs can open a new door, provide inspiration, present unique opportunities, expand your social or professional network, and challenge viewpoints of current events in the world around us.

Events include book signings, lectures, author tours, international speakers, and famous people presenting topics, seminars, and conferences. Professional development opportunities and inspiration are yours here at the Garden. Conservation professionals and others are welcome to attend our outstanding professional programs.
