While there are many resources out there for learning about bettas, having online discussions, and sharing photos and ideas, there is nothing quite like being together in person with other betta lovers, all talking bettas together, enjoying it, and feeding off each other’s enthusiasm.
In order to help people to find other local betta lovers, have meetings, and hold shows, the IBC has sanctioned Chapters all over the world. To become an IBC Chapter, a club must have five current members of the IBC. Please see the “How to Form an IBC Chapter” document linked below, or contact our IBC Chapter Chair chapters@ibcbettas.org.
Below you will find the location and contact information for all of the current registered Chapters. Participation in Chapter meetings and events is highly encouraged. Find the closest Chapter to you and contact them to get involved today.
