Keynote Speaker
Jimmy Chin (National Geographic Photographer and Professional Climber and Skier)
Few photographers will attempt Pakistan's precipitous K7 or ski from the summit of Everest just to frame a shot. So when world-renowned mountaineer Ed Viesturs pushes for the summit of his final 8,000m peak, or when alpinist Conrad Anker plans to put up a new route in the Himalayas, they call the same photographer and filmmaker: Jimmy Chin. You'll hear all about his exploration, photography, and filmmaking that has taken him on breakthrough expeditions around the planet.
