Minding Animals Australia, who was granted hosting rights for Minding Animals Conference 5, continues to develop the conference. The major barrier remains the ability to secure adequate funding. At this stage, it is highly unlikely that the conference can be held in 2027 (due to funding and timing), so please pencil in July, 2028 as the more likely timeframe for the event representing ten years since MAC4 in Mexico. Updates will follow, but rest assured that we are committed to catching up with you all soon.
