An accomplished filmmaker, explorer, author and mountaineer, David has led over 40 expeditions to the Himalayan region, summiting Everest five times, and worked on dozens of documentary film projects — some, like the IMAX movies on EVEREST and KILIMANJARO, to extraordinary acclaim. His work has taken him to remote locations throughout Tibet, China, Nepal, India, Pakistan and East Africa and garnered four Emmy Awards. His best-selling memoir, High Exposure: An Enduring Passion for Everest and Unforgiving Places documents his life as a mountaineer and filmmaker.

David is also the founder and executive director of GlacierWorks, a non-profit organization that uses art, science and adventure to raise public awareness about the consequences of climate change.

Register for EG 2020.

30 April - 2 May 2020

Our team has been working hard behind the scenes to bring you a superb program for EG2020. However, in light of growing and legitimate concerns regarding the rapid spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) which have gutted international events of all sizes, we have made the difficult decision to put EG on hiatus until it is once again deemed safe.


We know how much each of you look forward to EG and we were looking forward to seeing old friends, and welcoming many new ones, but we do need to prioritize the health and safety of our attendees, presenters, and partners, especially those traveling from afar.

We will be in touch in due course with future plans.
