Sitka WhaleFest tickets are also available now at Old Harbor Books (cash or check only) and will be available at the Registration Desk in Centennial Hall starting Friday, November 3rd (credit card, cash, or check accepted). Click here to register online for the symposium, Maritime Grind, Marine Mingle, Feeding Grounds Banquet, Wildlife Cruises, and much more!

Self-paying students qualify for a Symposium discount code. Please email whalefest@sitkascience.org for more information.

This year’s theme is “The Making-Of: Behind the Scenes of Science.” Our speakers will give insight into the lesser-known aspects of marine science: the serendipitous moments that inspire scientists to dive into their research; what drives their curiosity and makes them tick; the connections that link to other marine research; and lastly, what scientists do with their findings– should scientists take action and become advocates, or let the science speak for itself?

Join us for Sitka WhaleFest from November 2nd-5th, 2017!
