The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is one of the most sought-after presences at events across the state — and now there's a dedicated online system to make booking that presence a whole lot easier. The agency has launched the FWC Event Portal, a centralized platform where anyone can submit a request for FWC participation at their event, organization, or learning institution.

Through the portal, event organizers can provide details including event dates, location, audience information, and the specific topics or activities they're hoping FWC can address — whether that's a speaker, an educational exhibit, or another form of outreach. FWC staff will review each submission and evaluate it based on staff availability, available resources, and how well the request aligns with the agency's mission and outreach priorities.

Once a request is submitted, organizers will receive a confirmation that it was received, followed by additional notifications as it moves through the review process. Given how frequently the FWC is invited to participate in events statewide, the agency encourages organizers to plan ahead and submit requests well in advance of their event date.

Florida's natural environment drives everything from outdoor recreation to tourism, so it's no surprise the FWC stays busy sharing that world with communities across the state. This new portal should make it easier for both organizers and agency staff to manage those connections efficiently. This story was reported by 352today.
