#TetZooCon 2019: a thread. We've over the half-way mark as goes filling up the venue, and it's only early September. TetZooCon is being held at University of London's THE VENUE, Malet St, #London, Oct 19th & 20th. Around 18 talks, an art exhibition, 3 discussions, stalls, merch.. 
Book places here (we don't send paper tickets)... this is also where you book for the conference meal and the (separate) #palaeoart workshop (which currently runs in parallel to part of the main event, alas): tetzoo.com/convention
#TetZooCon 2019 includes a special session on natural history film-making, with a talk from Amber Eames (on her #swans film) and an on-stage discussion and Q&A with Paul Stewart, Nick Lyon and Zoe Cousins...
Tim Haines - of the Walking With Dinosaurs, #Primeval and much else - is also speaking at #TetZooCon 2019 :)
We also have a massive #palaeoart/#paleoart event, with talks from Beth Windle, Agata Stachowiak, Rebecca Groom, Jed Taylor, Joschua Knüppe, an event led by John Conway...
@WindleBeth @palaeoplushies @JoschuaKnuppe @JCTArtStudio ... plus there's a bunch of stuff on display: an art exhibition arranged by the legend that is @sharkbitesteve, the amazing dinosaur models of film-maker Paul Glynn, AND (hopefully) an interactive installation (yet to be confirmed)... #TetZooCon

@WindleBeth @palaeoplushies @JoschuaKnuppe @JCTArtStudio @sharkbitesteve I'm particularly happy to have Lauren McGough at #TetZooCon 2019; her talk is 'Golden and Crowned Eagle Predation: Hunting With Eagles Gone Bad in Eurasia, Africa and North America' and will be one of the highlights :) #raptors #birds #ornithology #birdsofprey
@WindleBeth @palaeoplushies @JoschuaKnuppe @JCTArtStudio @sharkbitesteve We also have a bunch of book-signings and associated talks. @DeepFriedDNA is talking about his new book The Missing Lynx (which I'm currently reading, it's excellent). #mammals #extinction #TetZooCon

@WindleBeth @palaeoplushies @JoschuaKnuppe @JCTArtStudio @sharkbitesteve @DeepFriedDNA @JackDAshby @Dave_Hone @lizardschwartz @EllenCoombs THERE'S MORE... but time to wind up. There's also our famous quiz - which I have yet to write - with a bunch of great prizes :) And, because there have been FIVE YEARS of #TetZooCon, I'll be giving a talk that looks back at those five years...
@WindleBeth @palaeoplushies @JoschuaKnuppe @JCTArtStudio @sharkbitesteve @DeepFriedDNA @JackDAshby @Dave_Hone @lizardschwartz @EllenCoombs YOU STILL HAVE TIME TO BOOK A PLACE, and probably will do until early October. But places are limited and selling fast. Book here, and see you in London on weekend of 19th & 20th October :) tetzoo.com/convention #TetZooCon
