Countdown to the next conference

/ Learn new things

Our conference deals with all topics related to chameleons. Learn more about chameleons and their natural habitat, find out what’s new in research, and expand your knowledge about your options in terrarium keeping and species conservation.

/ Exchange experiences

Share your own experiences with other keepers and breeders. Learn more about other chameleon species and share your keeping tips with other AG members so that everyone can breed successfully.

/ Networking

Chameleon keepers, biologists, scientists, veterinarians, and chameleon breeders from all over Europe meet at our conference. Make new contacts or meet up with old friends – there is always something to talk about in the world of chameleons.

/ Our conference

The annual conference is the heart of the AG Chamäleons. Every year in spring, like-minded people meet to exchange experiences, to listen to exciting lectures and, of course, just to chat with old and new friends. Our next conference will take place from

24th to 26th May 2024

This year we will meet in beautiful Fulda in Hesse. The venue is the Stadtgasthof Drei Linden in Neuenberger Str. 37 in 36041 Fulda. The rooms have recently been renovated, the food on site is good and there is also a beer garden for adults and a playground for children. Rooms directly in the Stadtgasthof can be booked by telephone on 0661 73131 or by e-mail to info@dreilinden-fulda.de. It is a ten-minute walk from there to the historic centre of Fulda. So if you don’t want to stay overnight directly on site, you’ll find all the options in Fulda itself. Fulda has an ICE train station and can be reached from all directions in Germany within a few hours. ATTENTION NEW: Please register for the conference further down on this page!

As we are also exploring new terrain with a new conference venue, there is a special novelty for Sunday this time: anyone who wants to can explore the Fulda “Pond garden” with the Chameleons Working Group. This is the 13,000 square metre site of the “Scalare” association. In a specially constructed aquarium and terrarium exhibition, the club members keep a variety of reptiles, fish and invertebrates. Outside, the facilities are complemented by aviaries with birds, squirrels and enclosures for land and water turtles. The meeting point is at 1 p.m. in front of the gates of the association’s premises, which are only one and a half kilometres away from the conference venue.
