Join a host of amazing, shark-loving speakers, including Steve Backshall and the Shark Trust team, for an evening celebrating shark conservation at the Royal Geographical Society in London this November.
The event – on 29 November from 6pm-10pm – will be a celebration of all things ‘shark', and those lucky enough to get hold of tickets will hear from engaging guest speakers with a passion for sharks.
The line-up includes (*subject to change if unforeseen circumstances arise):
Steve Backshall
One of television’s busiest presenters, BAFTA award-winning wildlife expert Steve has been passionate about the wild world ever since he was young.
Steve’s impressive TV career has taken him all around the world, investigating a wide array of species and environments. He has filmed over 100 hours of children's wildlife programmes with the BAFTA award-winning Deadly 60 franchise and recently, with Sky Nature, for his new series ‘Whale with Steve Backshall'. He has been a patron for the Shark Trust for ten years.
Simon Rogerson
Simon is editor of SCUBA magazine, the official journal of the British Sub-Aqua Club. He started his career as a crime reporter but gravitated towards his ‘less depressing’ interest in underwater exploration, joining the staff of DIVE magazine in 1999.
Simon also works as a freelance writer, contributing frequently to the Sunday Times and Telegraph, in addition to BBC Wildlife, Esquire, and a host of international diving magazines. He is the author of a book, Dive Red Sea, published by Ultimate Sports. Now based in Berkshire, Simon has been a Patron of the Shark Trust for 20 years.
More speakers to be announced soon. Head to the Shark Trust website to learn more.
The evening will also allow guests the final chance to see the Oceanic 31 shark art exhibition. Some of the artwork will be auctioned/raffled at the event, while the rest will be auctioned online to raise money for the Shark Trust Oceanic Programme.
