Forget the lectures, let’s roll up our sleeves! 

MESA International is bringing their “unConference” format to Greenville to offer you a safe, open environment to address your most pressing challenges.  These sessions offer a rich, interactive environment in which knowledge sharing works best.

Bring all your burning challenges*. Experienced MESA professionals will moderate the discussions between you and your peers, encouraging all to contribute to the sharing of ideas and lessons learned.  But be careful – you just might gain new insights that will benefit you and your organization!

Bring friends, colleagues, and clients to these famous roll-up-your-sleeves sessions.
