Explorer X invites you to a world-class evening that transports you from Seattle to the vast horizons of Namibia. We are honored to host Dr. Laurie Marker, Founder of the Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF) and a TIME "Hero for the Planet," for an exclusive stop on her 2026 Spring Tour. 

Go beyond the guidebook. Discover the heart of African conservation—from pioneering livestock guarding dogs to the historic reintroduction of cheetahs to India—and learn how the world’s fastest land animal is winning its race for survival. 

Doors Open: 6:00 PM
