Can I buy tickets at the door for the Expo? Yes, tickets can be purchased at the door on Sunday, October 3. The price is the same as advanced purchase tickets.
Is my Expo ticket purchase a tax-deductible donation? No, the Fair Market Value of the event is the face value of the ticket. However any donation made in excess of the ticket purchase price is fully tax-deductible. 100% of designated donations to WCN-supported projects goes directly to the field.
Is the Expo easy to find?
Yes! The Expo is located near AT&T Park, at the eastern edge of the city. It can be easily accessed from the major freeways and public transportation. Please click here for directions.
Is there parking at the Expo?
Yes! There is plenty of parking for Expo guests and participants. There are two large parking garages in the area. The Mission Bay Conference Center (Expo venue) has its own attached multi-level garage. Parking is $3 per hour. There is a second surface-level garage located one block east for $2 per day but this lot has minimal spaces available and we can not guarantee its availability.
Will there be food at the Expo?
Yes, there will be snacks and drinks available for purchase all day until 3:30pm. A boxed lunch will be available for purchase for $10 at the event. Lunch will be available from 1:15-2:15pm.
Why are there two venues at the Expo with simultaneous presentations? We recognize that this is a frustration for some people who want to see all the conservationists speak. This format is necessary to accommodate all our speakers in a one-day format. However, the good news is that DVD's of all the Expo presentations will be available for sale shortly after the Expo ($35 for the complete set). To order a set, please contact Stuff Marshall at stuff@wildnet.org or 650-949-3533.
Can I bring my kids?
Children are welcome at the Expo, however, the presentations are geared towards adults. Children over 8 years old may find some of the presentations interesting. Children must be supervised at all times.
Conservationists from around the world, including some of WCN’s Partners, recently met on Capitol Hill for a Senate briefing of the Great Cats and Rare Canids Conservation Act.
This vital piece of legislation would provide wild cats and canids, including Ethiopian wolves, lions, African wild dogs and many other threatened species vital support through the Multinational Species Conservation Funds, managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The House passed the Act, but it still awaits a floor vote in the Senate.
