Programme | WildPhotos

In October 2011, WildPhotos delegates were taken on a journey of discovery through the power of wildlife and environmental photography. With over 20 speakers from around the world, sessions covered a diverse range of subject matter. While we work towards next year’s programme of events, why not take a look at 2011’s running order?
