2024 M3 Conference

The conference’s primary focus is global health and medical missions, but other areas of interest include human trafficking, WaSH (water access, sanitation, and hygiene), orphan care, disaster relief, refugee care, education, and other missionary work. So if you are a physician, nurse, dentist, pharmacist or other healthcare professional, or you are in medical, dental, nursing, allied health, or pharmacy school, or you are a college or high school student who is interested in medical missions, we believe this conference will be a great resource and encouragement to you. In addition, if you are not in the medical field but have a heart and passion for missions, you will fit right in, be inspired in your faith, and also find opportunities to serve. So the answer is—anyone is welcome!

Main conference registration includes access to the conference Exhibit Hall; access to all Plenary and Breakout speaker sessions; dessert on Friday evening; breakfast on Saturday morning; and a boxed lunch on Saturday afternoon.  (NOTE: The Pre-Conference Workshop is NOT included in your main conference registration fee, but is available at an additional cost.)

Your registration fee helps cover the cost of putting on the conference (i.e. speakers, meals, materials, etc.).  All other expenses not covered by the registration fees are generously provided by our conference sponsors and Lakewood Church.

Additionally, each year, a portion of the conference proceeds goes toward a featured project. The 2024 Project of the Year will be announced at a later date.
