Ten years of Arm believing in what conservation technology can offer, and in the people building it. They've trusted us to be what our community needs us to be, and that kind of partnership is rare. Thank you, and here's to the next decade of impact! 🙌

[Arm @Arm]

10 years of technology supporting conservation. 🌍

Since 2015, we’ve worked with @wildlabsnet to connect conservationists and technologists, build skills and help make tools including GPS wildlife tracking, AI-powered camera traps and acoustic monitoring more accessible and effective in the field. https://t.co/Mgj4EaJt2g

[WILDLABS Community @WILDLABSNET]

Thank you to everyone who took the time to share reflections and help shape what comes next for ICTC!

In February, 600+ people from 60+ countries gathered in Lima for #ICTC2026. Today, the feedback is in! 📊

A survey of attendees gave the event a 9.4/10 average satisfaction score, with 100% saying they’d recommend it to a colleague.

Here’s what the impact looks like 🧵👇

[WILDLABS Community @WILDLABSNET]

We're proud that beyond the event:

🤝 78% left with new or strengthened relationships turning into real collaborations
🛠️ 27% identified specific new tools/methods to use in the field

We also heard demand for future ICTC events in Africa, Asia, and more. We're listening! 🌍
