Story from DSC
From Feb. 10 – 14, Dallas Safari Club held its first-ever virtual online event. Thanks to support from around the world, the 2021 Convention Reflections exceeded expectations and allowed the conservation community to join in support of the DSC mission safely in the digital world.
After several pivots and adjustments throughout 2020, DSC had been planning for an in-person Convention when the City of Dallas made the decision in December 2020 not to allow the event for February. With a little over eight weeks to prepare, DSC pivoted once again to bring a virtual experience to the conservation community.
“When you do an event of this scale for the first time in the digital
space, you always stay cautiously optimistic,” said Corey Mason, DSC executive director. “But seeing partners, sponsors, members and staff embraced the new platform really showed the true dedication of this community.”
Amy Callender, DSC’s incoming president, added, “This extraordinary support from the conservation community encourages us to tackle our mission of conservation, education, and advocacy with recharged enthusiasm in 2021.”
