The 2021 MidWest Mixed Conference will take place over two days and will provide spaces designated for the exploration of Mixed, Multiracial, and Transracial adoptee experiences through art, activities and conversations.
The 2021 MidWest Mixed Conference offers a sliding scale registration rate in an effort to make the event accessible to as many people as possible. Please support the 2021 MidWest Mixed Conference by giving generously with your registration contribution. The true cost of the conference is $125.00 per person, and we offer a “Pay What You Can” option for those who need flexibility to attend the conference this summer.

MWM envisions a world free from white supremacy and oppressive social constructs. We feel called to move beyond the bounds that limit our imagination or claim to define us. Together, we disrupt and expand narratives about mixedness so we can heal, connect, and push toward a future of collective liberation.
