A Keynote Presentation by Brian Keating

For decades, Brian Keating has traveled the wilds of the world, exploring more than 50 countries across all seven continents. Along the way, he has developed a deep passion for remote travel. One he shares through his buoyant, engaging storytelling style. Throughout the evening, Brian weaves humour and personal anecdotes into his presentation, bringing each story to life with his own live-narrated video segments.

More recently, Brian experienced something truly extraordinary: swimming with humpback whales. While snorkeling in clear blue water, he listened to their songs, watched mothers glide alongside their calves, and drifted beside creatures both immense and gentle. The experience moved him deeply—emotional, powerful, and at times almost otherworldly. On March 26, Brian will vividly bring this unforgettable moment to the stage.

Ultimately, the evening celebrates all things wild, both near and far, while reinforcing our shared responsibility to understand and protect wild spaces. Through his presentation, Brian aims to inspire and energize the audience, offering not only wonder, but also hope for a better tomorrow.
