In six months, we will come together as old and new friends at MIE's 2022 National Conference in Baltimore from December 5-7. Our gathering is highly anticipated as an opportunity to connect and collaborate, learn and be inspired, and build the impact investing movement. Registration is now open, and our conference typically sells out so register now to secure your spot.
CEO Matt Onek published a blog poston the four themes that will guide our conference programming:
All In for Equity

In the lead-up to December, we’ll engage further on these important themes by highlighting the work of members, sharing relevant resources, and more. Let us know how we can best explore these themes together as a community.
