Step into a World of Adventure with BTSC’s “An Evening with Ben Saunders”

Join us on April 11, 2025, for an extraordinary event as BTSC welcomes polar explorer Ben Saunders, one of the world’s most accomplished adventurers. Known for his epic solo journeys through the Arctic and Antarctic, Ben has proven that human endurance knows no limits. This special evening offers guests a rare opportunity to dive into the stories, challenges, and triumphs of a modern-day explorer who has ventured into Earth’s most inhospitable landscapes, facing every element of nature.

Ben’s resume of achievements is truly remarkable and reflects a life defined by courage, determination, and relentless spirit. As a global leader in polar exploration, he has accomplished feats few others have dared to undertake:

• Retracing Captain Scott’s historic South Pole journey: In a solo expedition spanning 1,795 miles, Ben covered the same grueling route that Captain Robert Falcon Scott attempted over a century ago. This expedition remains one of the longest polar journeys in history and serves as a testament to Ben’s resilience.

• Multiple expeditions to the North Pole: Through some of the harshest, coldest environments on the planet, Ben has led several missions to the North Pole, braving temperatures well below -50°C and navigating landscapes that shift and challenge every step of the way.

• Covering over 4,300 miles in polar regions on foot: His combined journeys represent one of the longest human-powered adventures in polar history. Ben has pushed through physical and psychological barriers, proving his endurance in some of the most extreme conditions imaginable.

• Inspiring audiences worldwide: A master storyteller, Ben has shared his tales of survival and strength on global stages, resonating with individuals from all walks of life. His insights on overcoming adversity and leading through challenges offer powerful lessons on resilience and self-belief.

“One of the best presentations I’ve experienced. Ben’s talk was absolutely brilliant. I was riveted to my seat just listening to him.”

During his keynote at BTSC, Ben will share firsthand accounts of these awe-inspiring feats, taking guests on an unforgettable journey to the icy extremes of our planet. He’ll offer unique insights into the mindset required for survival, the mental and physical resilience essential for exploration, and the deep personal growth that arises from pushing beyond one’s limits. From life-threatening conditions to moments of awe-inspiring beauty, Ben’s experiences promise to captivate and inspire.

Following Ben’s keynote, guests will enjoy an exclusive champagne and canapés reception—a perfect setting to discuss insights from the talk, mingle, and network.

“I have rarely seen this audience so captivated by a keynote speaker. Your talk was the highlight of our event and you also met my personal objective of, if only fleetingly, reminding people what ‘difficult’ really means.”

“Humble and self-effacing, Saunders is an explorer of limits, whether it’s how far a human can be pushed physically and psychologically, or how technology works hundreds of miles from civilization. His message is one of inspiration, empowerment and boundless potential.”
