The 2025 CMN Conference was our “Time to Shine”.  We soaked up the sun and great vibes in Los Angeles as we gathered together to lift our spirits, learn from one another, make music, new friends and connect with old friends in the colorful atria of the Embassy Suites South LAX.

Highlights

• 
  Keynote Speaker
  Fyütch

And as an exciting extra, this year, we collaborated with Bob Baker Marionette Theater to create a special Friday before the Conference officially kicks off.  The day included 2 inspirational workshops and a tour of the theater!
