Every year, WCN’s Wildlife Conservation Expos provide a unique opportunity to bring together wildlife’s most ardent supporters with some of the world’s leading conservationists to connect, share stories, and make life-long friendships. At Expo you can hear what it’s like to live and work in some of the most remote parts of the world and you can speak to conservationists directly to learn what you can do to help. Expos give you a chance to dive deeper into your love for wildlife, to learn what conservationists are doing to protect endangered animals, and become inspired to make a difference. It’s an event you won’t want to miss.

We Offer Two Expos in California Each Year
Our Wildlife Conservation Expos bring over a thousand supporters together twice a year to meet their conservation heroes in person and hear their inspirational stories. While the Fall and Spring Expos are held in northern California, people come from all over the country—and some from outside the U.S.—to attend.
Fall Expo
Our flagship Fall Expo takes place on the second Saturday in October. This is our biggest and longest running Expo, it draws a crowd of over 1,200 people and over 50 conservationists from around the world.
This Expo offers an unforgettable day of storytelling and inspiration, the opportunity to connect with other wildlife enthusiasts, and the chance to support protection for endangered animals big and small, from lions and elephants to cotton-top tamarins and penguins.
Fall Expo
Our flagship Fall Expo will take place on Saturday, October 13, 2018 in San Francisco. Stay tuned for details.
Spring Expo
Spring Expo takes place at the end of April and offers a smaller, more intimate experience that still maintains the same level of inspiration and enthusiasm as the Fall Expo. At Spring Expo you have the opportunity to take a deeper dive into conservation; presentations are fewer in number, but longer and more in-depth.

Our Spring Expo is typically held in northern California at the end of April.
