The “Connect to the Cause” exhibit hall opens at 8:00 when registration starts, and there are breaks throughout the day so that you can visit our local organizations 

The sessions are small-group workshops to create an intimate, interactive space where real hands-on learning and networking can happen. Space is limited - get your ticket and sign up today!  

Sessions are based on these three themes:

  • Community Building

Important Scheduling Tips

  1. Seating in workshops is limited to allow for interactive learning and community building and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Ticket holders are welcome to attend any sessions that are not at capacity, regardless of registration. You can use your link to change your session on this page up until January 27 at 5pm. 
  2. Please note the times of the sessions you select. Some AM sessions are 90 minutes, and some are 60 minutes. Make sure to view the schedule in the "Grid" view to avoid picking overlapping sessions. 
  3. Help us reduce paper waste. Download your personal schedule, or bring your mobile device with you to have your schedule handy on-site. 
  4. All available electronic files for posted sessions will be available to all MNxMN 2018 Beyond Resistance ticket holders, even for sessions you don’t attend. 
  5. All session times, content, speakers and availability are subject to change. If a session you are registered for cancels or changes times, you will be notified by email. If that occurs, we will make every effort to help you get into an alternative session of your choice, even if the session you want is already full.
