Proposals were due by December 7. Once all proposals are received, they will be reviewed and considered by several groups, which will take a few weeks. Staff and Committees will also work to develop sessions to fill any major gaps in programming. We will begin to add session details in January, and the full session list should be ready in late February, before the early-bird registration deadline ends.

We accept presentations from Allied Trade Members and other organizations in the fall. Proposals are reviewed and selected by the MBAA, MNCBG staff, MNCBG committees, and MNCBG Board members. Our Committees of volunteer industry staff also coordinate sessions they think will be most beneficial to the industry. In 2025, 8 of 15 sessions were developed or coordinated by Committee members.

Yes. Make sure you get Early Bird Discounts by registering by the deadline, even if you don’t know which staff will attend. When you purchase, include your information as the Ticket Purchaser. Then, when asked to input information for each registration, you can write, “Attendee 1 (or 2, 3, 4) TBD,” in the First and Last Name section, and input your own email.

After you’ve checked out, you’ll be sent a confirmation email with a link to edit (“manage”) your attendee information until Friday, March 27. Information for all registrations is needed by then to finalize menus, accommodations, and name-badges.

You can make changes to your attendee data until Friday, March 27.

NOTE: Only the person who purchased the tickets can update the attendee information. If the ticket purchaser is no longer with the company, please contact us.

By March 27, make sure you’ve entered the correct attendee information to ensure your attendees receive information leading up to the event, get a conference name badge at check-in, and receive all post-conference resources.

To update your attendee information, follow these steps:

1. Click the “Manage Order” button, beneath the QR Code, in your registration confirmation email. It will take you to the Humanitix “Manage Order” webpage.
2. Click “Edit” to update all necessary information on the Humanitix “Manage Order” webpage.
3. To save updated information, click the blue “Update” button at the bottom of the webpage.

First, make sure the person who purchased your registrations (if it wasn’t you) forwarded your ticket to you.

Then, please check your email, including your spam folder. There should be an email from Humanitix with your receipt and ticket. If you still do not see it, please contact us.
