Jackson Wild believes in the power of media to inspire wonder for our living planet and ignite action to restore and protect it through high-impact collaborations. ​
​Jackson Wild creates impact through four pillars of engagement: 

SUMMITS

Jackson Wild Summit
September 21-27, 2019 | Jackson Hole, WY
Conservation Focus: Living Oceans

For one week every autumn, filmmakers, conservationists, scientists and innovators come together to deeply engage on the critical issues facing our planet.​ The Jackson Wild Summit is an extraordinary annual convening where collaboration and innovation thrive, and new ideas are launched. Cross-disciplinary conversations on the critical issues facing our planet set the stage for strategic partnerships that happen nowhere else, as participants work together to address conservation and environmental challenges. In 2019, the conservation focus will be Living Oceans. Partner summits around the world will echo this conservation theme, broadening reach and deepening global impact.
