The Specialty Tools and Fasteners Distributors Association announced Thursday that Pasquale Scaturro will deliver the keynote address at the company’s annual convention and trade show later this year.
Scaturro, a bush pilot in Namibia, is also a renowned explorer of the world’s rivers and mountains, including three expeditions on Mt. Everest and filming projects for National Geographic, Discovery, ESPN and PBS. He also manages a conservation preserve in Namibia and conducts remote explorations for oil and gas deposits.
Scaturro’s STAFDA keynote will focus on the Nile First Descent Expedition, his 114-day excursion from the source of the Blue Nile in Ethiopia's mountains to the Mediterranean coast in Egypt.
STAFDA’s 49th annual convention and trade show will be held from Nov. 9-11 at the Phoenix Convention Center.
