Post-conference wrap-up
The 2019 Odyssey Conference was a success! The conference committee, the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS), and the Minnesota Board on Aging (MBA) were pleased to welcome over 1700 attendees, presenters, sponsors, exhibitors to the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center on July 31 and August 1, 2019. The 2019 event included 128 different concurrent sessions to choose from, and two general sessions with performances from New Native Theatre and Interact Center for the Visual and Performing Arts. In the two exhibit halls, attendees were able to visit 80 vendor booths, view 139 ePosters about innovative efforts by DHS and MBA grantees, experience assistive technology in a home setting, and take in the They/Them special exhibit.
Thank you to everyone who attended, presented, or exhibited. We hope to see you at the 2021 Odyssey conference.
