Dinner for the Profession MC 

David Knoff

Antarctic Expedition Leader David Knoff 

David Knoff is an Antarctic Expedition Leader and leadership expert who specialises in hostile environment diplomacy, resilience, remote leadership, specialised instruction and mentoring.

David embarked on an Antarctic Expedition to lead Australia’s Davis Research station for a year. He and his team couldn’t have predicted that whilst they were away, a global pandemic would change the world they left and leave them isolated longer than ever expected and forced to endure an extended stay without resupply and alone. David returned from the Antarctic in April 2021, having spent an incredible 537 days away from Australia and having missed the entire of 2020 and the pandemic response, adapting to the new world and establishing himself in Melbourne as an expert on isolation and leadership.
