It’s half time in the fight for conservation. So far, the game hasn’t gone our way – even as we speak, entire species are in danger of being lost altogether and the opposition comes at us from all sides.

But it’s not too late to turn things around. We’ve got the players. We’ve got the skills. We just need to regroup, find some self belief and work together to win Africa’s conservation challenges.

Enter the all-new Conservation Lab. 2017 will see the second edition of this progressive two-day un-conference* from Beyond Luxury Media Ltd. This invitation-only event brings together up to 100 influencers from key sectors of travel, business, technology, government and conservation under optimal conditions for creative thinking and collaborative innovation. There will be no bystanders; only active participants.

Because if we come together as a team, we can fight our way back.

This invitation-only event will bring together 50 influencers in the travel industry with 50 luminaries from the conservation world under optimal conditions for creative thinking and collaborative innovation. There will be no bystanders; only active participants. Because if we come together as a team, we can fight our way back.

We’ll be hosting collaborative group sessions and interactive workshops designed and led by you, the players, to create a democratic forum for productivity and creativity. Our crowd-sourced agenda will help gather intelligent insights that lead to informed decisions.

Once again the 4* Spier Hotel will be our grounds, set on one of the continent’s oldest wine farms, in picturesque Stellenbosh – the inspirational centre of South Africa’s innovation hub.
