FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2025

Join us for this year’s MnACC Annual Conference as we explore what it truly means to educate for the good — of students, communities, and the future of Minnesota. Grounded in equity, storytelling, and systems change, this conference brings together educators, counselors, and change-makers committed to transforming education into a more inclusive, responsive, and liberatory space. Through dynamic sessions, attendees will engage with critical conversations that challenge the status quo and reimagine what’s possible.

Together, we’ll reflect, connect, and take action toward an educational landscape that truly serves all students — especially those historically underserved.
