2025 Fall Conference - Shanty Creek
The 2025 Fall Conference will be held September 21 - 24, 2025 at Shanty Creek Resort. The planning committee is working hard to incorporate amazing topics, speakers, and networking events to make this year's Fall Conference the best ever. Don't miss your chance to meet and learn with your peers at this beautiful location. 

How you attend Fall Conference is your choice: attend either in-person or online via our virtual livestreaming event.

There will also be plenty of celebrations for on-site attendees, including new and renewing MiCPTs certifications, the 2025 PRIME Award Honoree, and installation of the 2025-26 Board of Directors.

Networking Activities
The conference planning committee is excited to offer in-person attendees the ability to take part in fun networking events throughout the conference that will highlight the area and enable lots of time to share with your fellow conference attendees. We are grateful for the support of our Associate member sponsors to make our Monday night off-site event possible.

Monday Night Networking Activity
This event will feature all the fun of a fall "up north" trip: food, fun, and friends. Attendees will be transported via bus (or drive themselves, if you prefer) to Friske Orchards and Farm Market in Ellsworth, about half an hour away. We'll have a private tent for our dinner outside as well as wagon tours of the orchard, apple picking, bonfire, and entertainment.
