Alex van den Heever and Renias Mhlongo are not your typical duo of keynote speakers. Their journey together began over two decades ago, amidst the untamed wilderness of Africa. Alex, a seasoned wildlife tracker and conservationist, and Renias, a member of the local Shangaan community with an innate understanding of the land, formed an unlikely yet unbreakable partnership. Together, they embarked on a mission to track and study some of the world’s most elusive predators, from lions and leopards to grizzly bears, jaguars, and wolves.

Their collaboration transcended cultural boundaries, language barriers, and the inherent dangers of their environment. It was a testament to the transformative power of authentic human connection—a power that they now share with audiences worldwide through their captivating keynote presentation.

From the sweeping plains of the African savannah to the dense forests of North America, each leg of their journey offers valuable insights into the dynamics of collaboration and cooperation. Audiences will witness firsthand the extraordinary lengths to which Alex and Renias went to understand and protect the magnificent creatures with whom they shared their world.
