Abstract: In any dimension at least five we construct examples of closed smooth manifolds with the following properties: 1) they have neither real projective nor flat conformal structures; 2) their fundamental group is a non-elementary Gromov hyperbolic group. These examples are obtained via relative strict hyperbolization.
