A Note from MAVA Conference Chair Garrett Zaffke:
Our committee has been working very hard to bring you a compelling and fun summer event of networking and learning with some of the brightest minds in the industry. We have some great speakers from around the world who will be highlighting this event as well as a Major League Baseball game and good BBQ. We also will be showing a highly anticipated performance by T2PT, a wonderful improv comedy act that loves to poke fun at public policy. Boy, sounds like a picturesque summer indeed.
But you are not attending the conference just for the atmosphere; you are looking to develop yourself, to take the next step and unlock the doors of opportunity that await you. The 2018 MAVA’s Conference is a great investment on yourself and your organization to do just that. You will be able to grow in your strengths, find new ways of doing the same old thing, hear about and discuss the most current issues and topics, as well as network and build lasting partnerships and friendships with your peers.
