WS Events Run Through for Fellows & Board

Hello All –

Below please find information on WilDSPEAK and the iLCP Annual Meeting events.  I am sending this to everyone for simplicity sake on our end – but also so that we can share everything that is happening, even with those that can’t join us this year.  Hopefully, it will inspire you to come next year!

All the best –

Alex

iLCP Annual Meeting & WiLDSPEAK Weekend

We are very excited to welcome you to DC later this week! As you’ll see from the below – we have a packed few days planned. Our goal was to make it absolutely worth your while to come and participate not only in WiLDSPEAK, but in the days leading up to it. We hope next weekend will serve not only to build iLCP’s name in the conservation/photography community, but also to provide many opportunities for all of you to get to know one another, build our internal community, and create value in being active and engaged members of iLCP.

Here are some details. If you have any changes, please let us know. Dress to everything is casual, except as noted for the Nature’s Best Exhibit Opening and WiLDSPEAK.

All of the scheduling information below is available here:
