Open Library Sessions
Each month, we recruit a local expert to lead an in-depth discussion on one of the Great Decisions topics. Free and open to the public, these Global Conversations are the perfect way to experience Great Decisions for the first time. Join us every month at the Hennepin County Library – Minneapolis Central location.
Annual Conference
Global Minnesota’s annual Great Decisions conference is the only event of its kind in the country. It brings together local, national, and international experts in a day-long event that shines a spotlight on one of the year’s topics.
