Florida Humanities is always looking for talented presenters to showcase our state’s unique culture and heritage. Speaking opportunities are available around Florida, and can take place with museums, historical societies, libraries, or other venues.

Florida Humanities connects communities with scholars and individuals who discuss contemporary and compelling subjects. Lecture topics should appeal to, and draw, diverse audiences. Presenters typically have backgrounds as university professors, published authors, chautauqua, storytellers, journalists, or former public officials.

Applicants who are selected for inclusion on our Speakers’ Directory will be included for two years, with the option to be renewed for an additional two years.

In addition to Florida Talks, members of the Speaker Directory may be asked to participate as a scholar or presenter for an organization’s grant project. Partner organizations may gain initial familiarity via one of our programs. Because of this, it is possible that a speaker is requested to participate in an event not sponsored by Florida Humanities.
