Description

The 2021 Midwest Fish & Wildlife Conference marks its 81st annual occurrence.

Due to COVID-19 this year's conference will be held virtually. Conference organizers say to expect the same informative and timely content as in years before and that participants will easily connect and collaborate with other conference attendees from across the region.

This online event will include plenary sessions, organized symposia, on-demand oral presentations, and a virtual trade show, e-poster gallery, and awards ceremony.

Featured in the plenary session will be Carolyn Finney, author of Black Faces, White Spaces: Reimagining the Relationship of African Americans to the Great Outdoors. Other plenary speakers will describe programs that address gaps in outdoor participation among different ethnicities and genders.

The full conference schedule is on the Midwest Fish & Wildlife Conference website.
