A special 10 anniversary event; The Great Lakes MI Conference 2026!
A group of MINTies from Wisconsin started this conference because we wanted to learn from one another. While we gathered quarterly to discuss MI, we wanted to experience MI deeply. Live action experience of each other's particular brand of MI. It seemed obvious to invite a bunch of other people to learn more about MI. And so, a conference was born.
