MK Synergy is a joint conference between MK Caregivers Summit (MKCS) and MK Educators Summit (MKES). This combined conference allows for cross pollination between the two conferences. There will be workshop tracks for both educators and caregivers. The goal of the event is to foster networking, encourage each other, share resources, process the latest research, and brainstorm strategies together.

(optional) Pre-Conference Event
Tuesday, March 3rd (5pm) to Wednesday, March 4th (noon)
Pre-Conference is recommended for those with limited experience working in the field of MK Care /Education or are new to the conferences. It is a great orientation to the conference, unpacking MK terminology, resources, and networking in a smaller setting before “everyone else” shows up.
