National Geographic Live, National Geographic’s popular and entertaining speaker series, and Calgary’s arts showcase, EPCOR CENTRE for the Performing Arts, will once again offer an exciting lineup of explorers, photographers, and filmmakers who are redefining exploration for a new generation. As always, Nat Geo Live events are Illustrated with award-winning photography and video, and each evening concludes with a lively question-and-answer session and an opportunity to meet the presenter in the lobby. From the extremes of the planet’s polar realms to the frontier of outer space, and traveling the globe to document priceless wildlife and inspiring human stories, our speakers bring the world of National Geographic—currently celebrating its 125th anniversary—to audiences on three continents.

    In over twenty years of working for National Geographic, photographer Joel Sartore has learned the hard way that there’s more to the job than just traveling to exotic locales and shooting pictures. From being chased by angry and hungry animals to surviving multiple traffic accidents in far-flung places, things can go wrong in the field, and for Sartore, they often do.
