Venom Symposium at ZooTampa

Join us in-person or virtually for ZooTampa’s first-ever Venom Symposium!
This two-day educational event is designed to bring together first responders, medical professionals, and herpetologists to advance knowledge surrounding venomous animal encounters and envenomation care.
This symposium will feature expert speakers from across the fields of emergency medicine, toxicology, wildlife biology, and reptile husbandry, providing attendees with a multidisciplinary perspective on venomous species and the medical management of bites and stings.
We’re honored to have Dr. Benjamin Abo as our keynote speaker, an EMS physician and well-known contributor to the Venom One and Venom Two response teams throughout the state of Florida.
