WILDLABS
You’re invited to the WILDLABS Variety Hour, our monthly community event connecting you to the exciting projects, research, and ideas that are happening in conservation tech right now.
You never know what you’ll find and who you’ll meet at our Variety Hour, and that’s part of the fun! You might catch speed talks from community members working around the world, learn from a leading conservation tech expert, discover a new tool, test your wildlife trivia skills, find a great opportunity - maybe you’ll even do all of the above.
The WILDLABS Variety Hour isn’t a show, or a lecture, or a workshop. It's an engaging, fun, and interactive gathering, giving you a welcoming space to share your own projects and resources, ask and answer questions, have insightful conversations, meet collaborators, make friends, and get to know the conservation tech community in a new way.
Great ideas and discussions are sparked when people who share a passion for conservation tech unite. When you come along to the Variety Hour, you’re joining a space full of people who care about conservation tech just like you; when you leave the Variety Hour, we hope you’ll take away fresh inspiration and the knowledge that you belong to a global community who are making an impact in our field all around the world.
The Variety Hour: March 2026
Join us on March 25th at 12:00 EDT / 16:00 GMT for a fantastic lineup of news, people, and projects. To come along, register here.
This month, we have three speed talks from Izabela Stachowicz, Lucia De La Huerta, and Matthew Duggan, as well as a long talk from Francesca Cagnacci & Peter Desmet.
We will hear about innovative tools and projects advancing wildlife research and conservation, including scalable open-source camera trap systems, tracking the migratory routes of bats using miniaturised GPS technology, developing accessible marine acoustic recording devices, and introducing platforms that support the sharing and analysis of animal movement and biodiversity data.
Sound fun? We'll see you there!
