The MCBW Conference is an opportunity for Minnesota's battered women's movement to gather to share ideas, gain new perspectives, and create strategies to deal with the many challenges we face in our work to end violence against women and children. The conference features national and local experts in the domestic violence field. Past keynote speakers and presenters have included Tillie Blackbear, Lydia Walker, Lt. Mark Wynn, Olga Trujillo, and Ellen Pence.
