Our featured Bay Stage brings national voices to MMLCon. Hear from talented national speakers as they cover everything from personal development to building programs in your municipality that will empower residents to play an essential role in your city's health.

Mark Ostach * Leadership Coach & Author

Mark's talk is the "Me" time you deserve. Promising to help renew energy, focus and connection in the age of distraction, his powerful message will not only leave you infused with a new sense of purpose, but also fill your tank enough to motor through the rest of the conference ready to jump in feet first. 

Rachael Allen * Founder & CEO, Operations School

Racheal has worked with municipalities on designing entrepreneurial programs that become part of the city's fabric. Understanding that many programs are based on urgency or the current leadership, fading once funding runs out or the leadership changes, our dynamic speaker will use her experience as the Founder of non-profit Operations School, to help officials understand how to build a lasting entrepreneurial program that will serve their residents into the future.

Designed to replicate the popular TED-Talk style, with one speaker dynamic enough to hold their own, Bay Stage sessions may be especially appealing to:

• Veteran attendees who have already taken Academy core courses and are looking for a change in their conference schedule
• Any attendee looking for a break in the traditional panel format** 

** NEW FEATURE - This year's schedule has a mini-track of single speakers that runs concurrently with our general education sessions. Attendees who may be particularly interested in this track should look for sessions labeled: Snap Session, Bay Stage and Solution Session.
