Minnesota Death Collaborative

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our 2026 conference! We had an incredible day of connection, learning, and inspiration - all in community with you. A special thank you to our wonderful speakers for sharing their sacred cultural practices with us. We all certainly walked away with a deepened, more culturally respectful perspective on our work as an organization and as individuals, and we hope to continue these conversations in 2027 and beyond. Thank you also to our sponsors, exhibitors, volunteers, and attendees - as well as our members and followers for your support. We are so grateful. This day wouldn’t have been possible without this community. 🤍

Today is the last official day to register for attendance to the conference on Sunday! Get your ticket before midnight for virtual or in-person attendance. We hope to see you there!

With less than a week from the conference - today we are answering some of your frequently asked questions! Additional questions? Drop them in the comments and we will get back to you!

Did you know?: We offer a virtual attendance option for a reduced rate of $65, professionally live-streamed to your computer. Registration for the conference closes this Friday - visit our website to sign up!

In case you missed it - we have an amazing lineup of speakers for this year’s conference, celebrating the rich cultural landscape of death work in Minnesota. We’re excited for a day of connection and learning with you this upcoming Sunday (just 6 days away!).

Reminder: Book Club is coming up Wednesday! This is a free event open to members and non-members to discuss a book related to death and dying. Register for the Zoom link via our website.

We can’t believe we’re saying this - but the conference is officially one week away! Registration is still open, and we’d love for you to join us in person or virtually!

This event is open to everyone regardless of membership status - and we are so excited to gather with you all for a day of connection and learning.

It’s hard to believe, but we are just a couple weeks away from the 2026 conference! Spots are still available to attend in person at the Eagan Community Center or virtually from your location of choice. We are excited for our lineup of speakers and activities. We hope to see you there!

We would love to highlight another sponsor making this year’s conference possible: The Bardo The Bardo . For those not familiar, the Bardo is a residential home nestled in nature in Inver Grove Heights for those on hospice. They are a wonderful organization helping people change how we think about death. We are grateful to have them as a sponsor!

We are less than one month from our conference on September 27th!

Did you know?: We offer both in-person and virtual options to attend. While we have many exciting offerings for our in-person attendees, we are also grateful to be able to work with a professional AV company who will be streaming the speaker presentations. Whichever way works best for you - we hope to see you there!
