About the Event​
Freemasonry is a tradition that runs for hundreds of years, born in Enlightenment Era values. Masonic lodges exist in part to take good men and help them grow and become better. At this conference we'll cover a range of educational topics to be announced, providing a sampling of what Freemasonry has to offer and how it connects to modern man's experience in 2025.
​
Freemasons from all recognized jurisdictions, prospects, and interested members of the general public are welcomed to participate.
​
We are looking into organizing an evening festive board as well, if you would be interested in attending, please reach out and let us know.
