Annual Conference – Register

MCN strives to ensure that this conference is accessible to all individuals.

Plenty of standard and vegetarian meals will be provided, as well as vegan and gluten-free.

A new parent’s room and a prayer space will be provided (please check the conference program on-site for details about locations).

Please submit requests for accommodations via email by October 8 (three weeks prior to the conference). Although we will attempt to meet all accessibility requests, late requests may not be fulfilled.

Registrants who are unable to attend the conference may send a substitute to attend in their place; please submit the change via email to MCN’s registrar.

Cancellations received by October 15 will receive a refund minus a $35 processing fee.

No refunds are available after October 15. See our full Registration Policies.

We encourage you to pay the registration rate that is meaningful to and possible for you and/or your organization. While earned revenue from our events is a significant portion of our operating budget, supporting the policy and advocacy work we do on behalf of nonprofits, we aim to keep our fees accessible, often below market rate, and offer further reduced entry points for those who need them to participate in professional development.

If your participation is dependent on a PWYC rate, please register online with the promo code that corresponds with your accessible price point below.

Note: Online PWYC rates close Wednesday, October 1 at 11:50 p.m. central, but you may still register on-site using PWYC rates.

PWYC Rates:

• $159 (PWYC159)
• $239 (PWYC239)

You will not be asked to complete an application to prove need. PWYC rates are the scholarship model for this year’s Conference. The rates are for individuals and do not apply to small- and large-group registrations.

The 2026 MCN Annual Conference is a perfect venue for you to get your expertise in front of an engaged nonprofit audience. If you have products or services to share with Minnesota’s entire nonprofit community, email John Wurm about Exhibitor and Sponsor information.

Conference registration guarantees access to a choice of breakout sessions at different times throughout the conference schedule. However, registration does not guarantee a seat in a specific individual breakout session.

Sessions are assigned rooms in advance of the conference. The safety of conference attendees is always a primary concern, and may include closing a room if attendance exceeds the room capacity. We encourage early arrival to breakout sessions to help ensure that a seat is available.

The conference will take place at Saint Paul RiverCentre, 175 Kellogg Blvd, St. Paul, MN 55102.

Please arrive early to ensure you have plenty of time to park and check-in before sessions begin.
