I attended the Small Cats Symposium last week and wanted to send a quick thank you for your facilitation and support. I didn’t present myself but was present for all and was super impressed with your quick feedback and IT support to the speakers. Genuinely one of the best virtual symposiums I have attended!
I look forward to the next Africa Massive-hosted events!

I just wanted to drop you a line to provide some very positive feedback of my conference experience last week.
It was my first ever virtual conference so wasn’t sure what to expect but I found it was exceptionally well organised by the Africa Massive team and very professional.
I thoroughly enjoyed the full week, and I would definitely attend future virtual conferences following this.
Thank you again to you and the team for such a well organised and managed event!
Julie Dickin (Delegate: 1st Global Leopard Conference)
africaMASSIVE is such a great organization to collaborate with and I appreciate all your hard work so much. The team exudes a welcoming and truly committed professionalism – no question is ever silly, and no request is an inconvenience.
The whole Cape Leopard Trust team is really looking forward to next week. It’s going to be amazing and I’m so proud that we did this with you.
Dr. Katy Williams (Research & Conservation Director, Cape Leopard Trust)
When I first envisioned the global leopard conference idea, just before Covid, the thought of putting together an in-person event and all the dynamics that go with it was quite daunting. It’s one of the two reasons why I’m actually grateful for the pandemic! First, people actually noticed nature and wildlife. Second, it opened an opportunity for us to rethink the conference model, making it possible to host a virtual, environmentally friendly event, resulting in a low carbon footprint, and ensuring that no leopard project across the globe is discriminated against because they can’t afford to attend an in-person event.
We really appreciate the professional support invested by africaMASSIVE to enable the 1st Global Leopard Conference to run seamlessly, and I can say without a doubt that we are all really looking forward to the big day. Let’s hope we can create an amazing legacy that will help us protect leopards around the world.

I just wanted to send you guys a massive thank you from my side. I know I sent a million mails and had an endless list of questions and things I needed help with, and I really appreciate all the help and effort from your side. I was expecting a few hiccups with the conference (because things happen) and I honestly felt like there were none. Especially no major dramas. And I have no doubt that is all because you guys were involved. So, thank you again for helping us put together an absolutely awesome conference (Africa Wild Dogs United 2022). We honestly could not have done it without Africa Massive.

I hope you guys have managed to get some rest after the activities of AWDU (African Wild Dogs United 2022)? Thank you once again for a marvellous event – it really went better than I could ever have expected, and you guys played a massive role in its success (pun intended 😊)
Dr. Harriet Davies-Mostert (Head of Conservation, Endangered Wildlife Trust)
Congratulations on putting on such an excellent conference. It really exceeded our expectations, and your platform and organisation made a huge contribution. We were delighted to be able to sponsor the conference
