Let's face it: we've had ANOTHER crazy year for healthcare. From the staffing shortages to the ever changing legislative updates to the continued mistrust of vaccines, it can be hard to know where to focus. MHSCN’s 2022 fall conference, "What's The Future," provides you with a unique opportunity to join marketing and communication colleagues who can appreciate the "craziness" we faced while learning how to figure out a way forward.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are proud to offer both an in-person and virtual option for attendees. See below for details on the in-person and virtual options.
In-person registration closes Sept. 25.
Virtual registration closes Sept. 30.

COVID-19 Considerations
MHSCN is closely monitoring the COVID-19 situation in Minnesota to offer a safe conference in line with local, state and federal guidance. We are reviewing safety guidance periodically in advance of the event to ensure it reflects the most accurate information. By registering to attend MHSCN’s fall conference, you are attesting that you will follow the most current version of MHSCN’s safety guidance on the day of the event.
For in-person attendees, masks will be welcome but not required. MHSCN encourages in-person attendees to be up-to-date on COVID-19 vaccinations and to avoid attending if they recently received a positive COVID-19 test or are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19. Breakfast and lunch will be provided for in-person attendees, as well as MHSCN swag.
Virtual attendees will receive copies of presentations in advance of the conference and access to a livestream with Q&A functionality that includes an emcee to relay questions to speakers. A voucher for a lunch option will be provided to virtual attendees. MHSCN swag will be sent via mail after the conference; please include your mailing address with your virtual registration.
We are excited to offer this hybrid conference model to meet the needs of our members and event attendees.
