The Mobilizing Medicine and Missions (M3) Conference is a two-day global health and missions conference designed to bring together doctors, nurses, dentists, other healthcare professionals and medical students, as well as non-medical professionals and students, who have a desire to use their skills to meet pressing global health and related community needs.
The vision of M3 is to help people connect with others, be inspired, and find their mission. At the 2025 M3 Conference, you can connect with others in networking sessions, be inspired by dozens of speakers, and find your mission in the Exhibit Hall filled with over 70 organizations providing opportunities to serve both locally and abroad.
The M3 Conference reaches around the world to touch the hearts and lives of people in need. Don't miss this great opportunity to be a part of a movement that is changing this world for the better, and mark your calendar and register to join us on February 21-22, 2025, in Houston, Texas, to celebrate M3's 10th anniversary with us!
