Through La Concha Conversations, we are dedicated to bringing together visionary leaders to share the Marbella Club’s journey of growth and stewardship. Our goal is to create impactful dialogues that inspire actionable change, promoting a harmonious coexistence with nature and fostering a sustainable future rooted in interconnectedness, wellbeing, and the enrichment of our local community.

Central to our mission are the pillars that define us: culture, heritage, wellbeing, sustainability, and culinary experiences.

Biodiversity

Biodiversity is the silent architecture of life, the web that sustains our food, our climate, and our future. Yet it faces unprecedented decline, calling for urgent collaboration across science, policy, and culture. In Spain and throughout the Mediterranean, rising temperatures, water scarcity, and land degradation test our capacity to restore balance between human and natural systems. In this second edition of La Concha Conversations, we place biodiversity at its heart, weaving through panels on land, water, air, finance and innovation, to reimagine stewardship as a shared responsibility and inspire new models of regeneration, from the roots of Finca Ana María to the wider world.

La Concha Conversations will take place over the course of three days.
