Hear from first-class explorers, daredevils and pioneers as they share their eclectic experiences of adventure at this sell-out event.
The challenge is that speakers are limited to 20 slides to accompany their tales. Shown on a huge screen, each slide rolls forward automatically after just 20 seconds.
With this unusual and challenging presentation format, once the talks begin there is no stopping or going back, the audience must be ready to be swept from adventure to adventure!
