How can conservation shift to keep up with the demands of our rapidly changing world? This year’s symposium, presented in collaboration with National Geographic, will inspire thinking on why and how to integrate principles of systems theory in conservation. We have brought together a diverse array of leading experts to challenge our current way of working—and to devise creative solutions to complex conservation and development challenges in the context of our dynamic planet.

The event, presented in collaboration with National Geographic, is free and open to the public. It will take place at the National Geographic Society’s Grosvenor Auditorium in Washington, DC on December 6, 2018.
