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.
