MTI Presents
18th Annual Conflict Resolution and Mediation Conference
We hope you can join us virtually at the 18th Annual Conflict Resolution and Mediation Conference on June 22-24, 2021!
The focus of this year’s conference is on Navigating Our Conflicted World. All of us have had to face many changes this year as COVID, racial equality and the United States presidential election have added many challenges to an already conflicted world. More so than ever, we realize that conflict resolution is an essential leadership skill that transcends far beyond the workplace, and the need for professionals who can help others with these vital skills is paramount.
What to Expect:
- Live interactive three-day conference with substantial learning and networking opportunities
- Peer presentations on case studies and best practices
- Industry-specific topics including First Responders, Education, Healthcare, State and Local Government and Nonprofits
- Workshops on how to build your brand and business
- Tools and resources to help you manage your practice more effectively
- Tips and techniques for resolving conflict in the new normal of online mediation
- All sessions will be recorded to accommodate attendee schedules and time zones

2021 Keynote Speakers

Now I See: Moving From Blindness to Breakthrough in Conflict Resolution
Vera Jones
Presenting: June 22, 11 a.m. – 12 p.m. EDT
Chronicling a single mom’s most daunting challenges in guiding her son through his most critical life challenges, Vera reveals relatable leadership lessons for resilience, change, and finding significance in the midst of adversity – a true, mental energy boost for those tasked with the heavy responsibility of helping others navigate through conflict. Attendees will also learn the importance of emphasizing awareness and accountability before taking action in mediation, and why “The Catch” is a fundamental communication key for every conflict conversation.

First Responders Panel
Featuring Chief Holloway, Chief Hanson, and Chief Large
Presenting: June 23, 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
