The Aquarium of the Pacific is home to more than 11,000 inhabitants of the Pacific Ocean with numerous areas where
visitors can touch stingrays, sharks and sea jellies. In addition to the new Molina Animal Care Center, which provides enhanced
healthcare to its animals and allows guests to view veterinary medicine in action.
One of the most recognized attractions in Long Beach is the Queen Mary, one of
the world’s most luxurious ships that once sailed the Atlantic Ocean. The ocean liner
features historical tours and several fine restaurants. You can book Behind the Scenes
guided tours of the history ocean liner and World War II troopship. | queenmary.com
Stroll down to Shoreline Village, a replica of an early California seaport that’s
been in Long Beach for more than 25 years, with an array of shops featuring gifts,
souvenirs, collectibles, hats, t-shirts, gourmet chocolates, candy and jewelry. You’ll also
find restaurants for every taste and pocketbook.
4th Street Retro Row has earned two nicknames, Retro Row and Funky 4th
Street, thanks to an avant-garde ensemble of kitschy shops that take us back to bygone
eras by selling vintage clothing, antiques, books and collectible furniture. Adding to 4th Street’s Retro spirit is the Art Theater, just
recently restored to its 1924 Art Deco glory.
In addition to Long Beach’s own Aquarium of the Pacific and the Queen Mary, Long Beach is located near just about everything
Southern California has to offer. No doubt you’ll recognize the names of the most popular attractions-Disneyland, Hollywood,
Universal Studios and Knott’s Berry Farm. Drive to any one of them in about an hour or less.

*Additional fee required.
Veterinary and RVT Approved CE
Veterinarians and registered veterinary technicians (RVTs) will receive CEUs by attending the breakout sessions. The number of CEUs to be received is
still to be determined. Western University is a statutorily approved CE provider.
Humane Officer Training Hours
Many of the sessions are designed to provide the education and training required of humane officers under Corporations Code section 14502. Please
check the conference website in the coming months for more details as we finalize the schedule. It is important to note that the final decision as to
whether a course of training complies with section 14502 rests with the Superior Court having jurisdiction over the humane officer. Questions may be
directed to Erica Hughes, Executive Director at SHAC ([email protected] or 510.525.2744).
Who should attend?
The Animal Care Conference (ACC) brings together all types of professionals who work in
California’s shelters to share issues, experiences, and network and learn from one another.
The ACC program is structured to allow each attendee to select educational sessions that
are pertinent to his or her role in the animal shelter profession. Attendees may choose from
sessions, which provide the most current shelter-specific training on animal welfare, best
management practices, animal behavior and veterinary treatment. ACC presenters are experts
in their field and attendees will leave each session with practical information on how to
address their communities’ animal issues. The ACC is the essential conference for animal shelter
professionals, from intake specialists to veterinarians.
