M.A.L.E. Conference 2021, Puerto Plata Dominican Republic
Dates: TBD
Lifestyle Vacation Club
What is the M.A.L.E. Conference?
The M.A.L.E. Conference stands for Men’s Adventures & Life Experiences Conference. The M.A.L.E. Conference allows friends who once hung out in college or around the way to reconnect, rebuild and re-establish their friendship bonds. The format of the conference includes, group discussions, presentations and panels from conference participants on a range of topics that seek to build men up. On a daily basis, conference attendees participate in excursions ranging from island boat rides to riding ATVs through the community. Conference attendees are encouraged to eat meals as a group and get to know men from communities all over the United States in order to expand their network, gain knowledge and grow.
Who is the M.A.L.E. Conference for?
The M.A.L.E. Conference is for men who are looking for an opportunity to bond with old and new friends, have good conversations and discussions about male centered topics, go on excursions, eat good food and have a good time.
When is the M.A.L.E. Conference?
To be determined, but we are definitely going.
Where will the M.A.L.E. Conference be?
The M.A.L.E. Conference will be in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic at the Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Club Resort.
Why do we do the M.A.L.E. Conference?
The older we get, the father away we get from friends who we love, cherish and wish we could spend more time with. The M.A.L.E. Conference is an opportunity to enhance bonds from the past on a new level while having great conversations, eating great food and going on fun excursions. We believe that at least once a year, every man should be able to chill with his boys. We also believe that men need spaces where there are only men and they have the chance to express themselves, learn and grow.

Introducing Participant Lead Workshops
Going for with the M.A.L.E. Conference, we are taking things to another level! In addition to excursions and conversations about life we would like to introduce Participant Lead Workshops on various topics to help us all be better men. We recognize from last year’s conference in Columbia that there are many things that we as men are not fully knowledgeable of and we could benefit from the knowledge and skill of other men to help us improve our lives. Additionally, we decided that we wanted to put a little bit more meat on the M.A.L.E. Conference bones so that when we leave the conference and return to our regular lives, we are able to return to our lives as improved men. We believe that the initial concept of the M.A.L.E. Conference, being an opportunity for men to get away at least once a year and go on excursions and adventures around the world was a good start, but we now believe we can offer more to help build better men so that our life experiences have a greater impact on us, our families and communities.
