2021 MSOD Alumni Virtual Conference

At any in-person conference, oftentimes the most memorable or meaningful moments of connection and restoration takes place outside the formal sessions. The same can also be true at our virtual alumni conference.

Choose Your Own Adventure gives you the power to choose what’s best for you in between and around the formal conference sessions.
