The Waterfowl Conservation Workshop is a professional development and learning opportunity for zoo and wildlife professionals and students, as well as dedicated private aviculturists managing their own waterfowl aviaries, but also other interested people. The workshop provides a unique forum for the discussion of waterfowl husbandry, conservation, research, veterinary care, and other relevant topics.

The next workshop is being planned for September, 2026 in the United Kingdom. The workshop will visit a number of private and public collections and offer a number of one-of-a-kind opportunities integrating both classroom and hands-on learning.
In 2023, we hosted the workshop in Seattle, Washington. The primary conference was held at the Woodland Park Zoo, with visits to other zoological and avicultural collections in the surrounding area.
WCW 2020 was held in the Netherlands, at the campus of Aeres MBO Barneveld and at Ouwehands Zoo. WCW 2020 included speaker sessions and hands-on workshops in Barneveld and a tour at Ouwehands Zoo. A post-conference wild goose safari was offered to participants following the classroom sessions.
