Discover a world of possibilities at the 5th Annual MNPolyCon! This is no ordinary community conference — this is Minnesota's premier one-day event dedicated to education and community for non-monogamous and related communities.
What is MNPoly?
MNPoly is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization that exists to provide support, education, advocacy, and social connection to the Ethical and Consensual Non-Monogamous Communities of Minnesota. We provide a brave space for all adult Minnesotans (regardless of race, gender, sex, sexual orientation, religion, or age) who engage in ethical and consensual non-monogamous relationships to participate in the sharing of ideas, experiences, resources, and all forms of support to sustain a continuous community that is responsible, honored and respected. MNPoly is a 501(c)(4) organization, and any donations made are not tax-deductible.
What is MNPolyCon?
MNPolyCon is our 5th annual educational event that aims to inspire curiosity, challenge conventional beliefs, and cultivate a better understanding of non-monogamy and related topics. The event is open to everyone interested in Minnesota's non-monogamous and broader communities. MNPolyCon hopes to promote non-monogamy education by fostering a more open-minded culture that accepts diverse relationship frameworks and encourages positive societal changes.
What is MNPolyCon's 2024 theme?
Differing Dynamics
Non-monogamy is a bold and courageous way to establish multiple romantic, intimate, and sexual connections with the consent of all parties involved. It allows you to break free from traditional relationship restrictions and live authentically on your terms. Each connection is unique and special, providing opportunities to discover and share excitement, fulfillment, and personal growth in a diverse range of sincere, satisfying, and empowering relationship dynamics. Don't miss out on the chance to celebrate and learn from the diverse dynamics present within our community!
What is the MNPolyCon Friday Night Social?
This pre-conference event is open to everyone interested in Minnesota's non-monogamous and broader communities. Attendees are not required to register for MNPolyCon 2024. It's a great opportunity to mingle, enjoy some tacos, and grab a drink before the big day. Consider it a warm-up for the conference — but without PowerPoint presentations!

What is the Registration Policy?
MNPolyCon is committed to ensuring a seamless, secure, and enjoyable experience for everyone who attends MNPolyCon 2024 and the MNPolyCon 2024 Friday Night Social. To ensure this, we've introduced a new registration policy. Every ticket must now be registered under the legal name of the individual who will use it to attend the event(s). Your compliance with this policy is very important in maintaining the integrity of our ticketing system. Negligence will result in denial of entry to the event(s) and ticket cancellation without a refund. Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns regarding this policy. It is important to note that this policy does not apply to Scholarship Tickets, as they have a separate registration process.
Important registration notice — because the conference involves adult-oriented themes and sexually explicit materials, all attendees must show a photo ID upon check-in to comply with State and local laws. Negligence will result in denial of entry to the event(s) and ticket cancellation without a refund.
What is the Ticket Cancellation Policy?
I verify that I have read and understood the ticket cancellation policy. I acknowledge that per the policy, all ticket sales are final and non-refundable. Once purchased, tickets cannot be canceled or refunded. This policy applies to all ticket types and categories. However, transferring tickets to another person may be permitted. If you wish to request a transfer, contact mnpoly.education@gmail.com.
Are there Scholarship Tickets available?
MNPoly understands that not everyone has equal access to opportunities, and we want to make our events more accessible. For this reason, we are offering Scholarship General Admission Tickets and Scholarship Box Lunch Tickets to support those who need assistance to attend, including people from marginalized communities and those facing economic or social difficulties.
MNPoly offers five Scholarship General Admission Tickets to support access to education, content, networking, and socializing opportunities within the non-monogamous and related communities. We encourage individuals, businesses, organizations, and groups to sponsor* additional Scholarship General Admission Tickets and Scholarship Box Lunch Tickets. Together, we can work towards fostering a welcoming, diverse, and communal community!
When you donate a ticket, you will receive an e-ticket. However, please disregard the e-ticket since we manually deactivate them. Please note this deactivation will not initiate a refund. To comply with our Registration Policy, MNPoly has established a separate registration system for Scholarship Ticket recipients.
If you would like to request a Scholarship Ticket, please contact mnpoly.education@gmail.com with your request.
