Dear MCAA Member:

It is my distinct pleasure and honor to invite you, the members of our MCAA family, to once again gather for our annual Convention. MCAA19 will be held March 3-7 at the beautiful JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge on the outskirts of Phoenix, Arizona. As you will see from this Planning Guide, we have an awesome lineup of world-class speakers and entertainment along with an incredible array of industry seminar speakers and workshop leaders. I was imagining another great MCAA convention, but our lineup has even exceeded my expectations. Our week will not only be informative and entertaining, I believe it will be transformative. And furthermore, we’ll have my President’s video!

So come join us! It will be an extraordinary event you won’t want to miss!

IMAGINE...

MCAA19 will bring you speakers, sessions, parties, and experiences that will defy imagination! Here are just a few of the many reasons to attend.

Hear from a basketball legend so successful on the court and in business, he can only be called “Magic.”

Share a morning with an inventive “shark” who is the perfect blend of instinct and entrepreneurship.

Listen to a sports executive tell how his team broke one of baseball’s longest-standing curses. And to top that off, his next team did it again!

Hear from the leader of the United Association, the nation’s most progressive and influential trade union.

Come face-to-face with a man who overcame tragedy as a child to excel in the NFL and went on to blow minds on America’s Got Talent. He's got a trick or two to show you!

On Tuesday the world's hottest rock band... yes, you read that correctly... will play a private concert just for MCAA!

Let loose and enjoy Sunday's Opening Party with The Trip and Wednesday's Dessert Party with the Milwaukee Tool Shed Band.

Meet the next generation of leaders at the Student Chapter Exhibit or drop by their Student Union.

Check out the latest products and services while you build relationships with your fellow MCAA Manufacturer/Supplier Council members at their Exhibit Tuesday morning.

Unleash those competitive instincts with a sport-filled Sunday on the links, on the courts, or the race course.

Just because this is number 11, don't think this year's Opening Session President's video won't come in as number 1 of all time.

Imagine a week in a home away from home in Phoenix, Arizona! If your home were a desert paradise, that is!
