Connecting People to the Natural World through Media

Now in its third decade, the Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival’s biennial 6-day conference is an unmatched international industry event drawing 650+ leaders in science, conservation, broadcasting and media to celebrate the world's finest nature films. In alternating years, JHWFF hosts a Science Media Symposium targeting 300+ science media stakeholders to recognize excellence in media that illustrate the wonders of science and its far-reaching impact on our daily lives. This year, we launch the first Jackson Hole Conservation Summit. The inaugural 4-day conference, produced in partnership with the United Nations Great Apes Survival Partnership and the Arcus Foundation, puts its focus on the world's Great Apes.

We inhabit a place of transcendent beauty, in a world facing unprecedented global environmental threats. We believe in the power of ideas and the power of media to inspire wonder and catalyze change through personal action. Beyond its industry conferences, JHWFF is equally committed to creating multidisciplinary education and community enrichment opportunities through exciting year-round programs that integrate photography and digital media with art, science and nature.
