All leaders of volunteers, step right up and join us!
The Minnesota State Fair is known as the Great Minnesota Get-Together, and it's a sensory experience unlike any other! This summer at MAVA's conference, we will channel the fun, the experience, sometimes the oddity, and the togetherness of the state fair. Join us for two and half days of networking and interactive sessions, including large-group experiential learning and breakout sessions, facilitated by national and local innovators in the field of volunteer engagement, leadership, and more.
We are calling this conference "hybrid light." What does that mean?
In-person participants will receive:
- option to attend one of four breakout sessions per time slot
- access to keynote speakers and large-group sessions
- choice to attend virtually any time, if needed
- lunch on Wednesday and Thursday
- opportunity to network with volunteer engagement colleagues and leaders
- Twins tickets available to in-person attendees (for Friday night game, July 21)
Virtual participants will receive:
- access to one breakout session per times slot - The Virtual Track
- access to keynote speakers and large-group sessions
- virtual opportunities to network with volunteer engagement colleagues and leaders
