May 9, 2016 (Kohala Mountain, Hawai‘i Island)—Held every four years, the IUCN World Conservation Congress is known as the “Olympics of Conservation”—the most significant conservation event in the world will take place at the Hawai‘i Convention Center from September 1–10, 2016. This is a tremendous opportunity to share Hawai‘i’s conservation and sustainability efforts and for our local practitioners to network with international professionals, learn from other models of practice and be inspired to build their expertise. Topics will include: Significance of the IUCN and the World Conservation Congress, Overview of relevant events and activities, developing and communicating your island’s “bright” spots and sharing opportunities to participate, including registration options and incentives, exhibit booths, pavilions, special events, field trips, and more. Come hear what is planned, how your island can be represented, and how you can participate!
