Annual Conference

This conference brings together youth and youth service professionals from the Mid-Atlantic region (and beyond!) for three days of networking, learning, and FUN!

Consistently rated as an excellent educational and networking experience by participants, the Annual Conference delivers more “bang for your buck” with cutting-edge workshop topics, sought-after speakers, a multitude of take-home resources - and lots of formal and informal networking opportunities.

Networking: MANY is well known for creating informal and strategic networking opportunities as a core component of this event. Access a whole network of peers and organizations who provide services grounded in positive youth development – all in one place.
Learning: Expand your horizons! MANY offers you a diverse range of topics, from clinical methods to Executive Leadership, current youth trends, intensive personal growth, and much more. See our Speaker Interviews to learn about speakers and topics from past conferences.
FUN: We know how dedicated you are, and how much of yourself goes into your work. We want to help fill you back up with rest, relaxation and fun! The locations are amazing – Ocean City, Virginia Beach, Philadelphia, and for 2008: Annapolis, MD. The MANY-sponsored activities are energizing– Salsa Dancing, Jazz Clubs, Progressive Party (can’t wait to see what we dream up this year). The people are friendly – and every year only gets better! In addition, the Annual Conference features the Youthworker Awards, where we shine a light on some truly exceptional individuals that have gone above and beyond their call of duty.
