Conservation Florida's 2026 Sunshine State Soirée Presented by Verizon

The 2026 Sunshine State Soirée brings together over 300 of Florida’s most influential environmental advocates and philanthropic leaders. This year, we journey into the heart of Florida's wildest and rarely seen places with our theme: Florida at Night. 🌖
Experience the mystery of our state’s nocturnal ecosystems—from the glow of fireflies over crystal clear springs to the silent prowl of the Florida panther. It is a celebration of the wilderness that comes alive after dusk, and the tireless conservation work that protects it 24/7.

What else is new? This year we are trading the traditional plated dinner for a social, soirée-style evening. Enjoy the freedom to mingle and explore as you move between curated cocktail stations and a lavish buffet, ensuring the conversation flows as freely as the drinks.
