We invite you to join us at the South West Marine Fest Conference. Conservation Chat UK LTD are specialist in organising events in which the environment is always at the heart.

Important ticket information: For the 2024 event, we have set 3 ticket prices* to support cost-of-living. We have slightly cheaper tickets (concessions), more expensive tickets (for those who can afford to pay a bit more and subsidise the concessions), and general admissions. If you have attended the SWMF Conference in 2022 or 2023, please check your emails for an exclusive discount code that applies to general admission tickets which will be valid for a limited time. *Limited numbers available, terms and conditions apply.

We are passionate about the marine environment, especially in our local area, the southwest of England. This will be the third of a recurring annual event that celebrates marine life from the region and beyond.

The day will be filled with presentations, discussions and networking opportunities and will be aimed at those who work in the marine/conservation sector, students, early career researchers, and anyone with a passion for the marine environment!

Light refreshments will be provided, but to keep ticket prices low, this is a 'bring your own lunch' event. We challenge you to go plastic-free!

Stay tuned for our line-up of speakers!
