MAUVSA Advance Conference (MAC) is a three-day annual conference hosted by the Mid-Atlantic Union of Vietnamese Student Associations (MAUVSA). The conference brings together hundreds of young adults from 18 schools across four states to promote leadership and awareness of Vietnamese culture through keynote speakers, workshops, and many more activities. The mission of the conference team is to help facilitate the creation of leaders who will take the lessons they have learned and apply them to better themselves and the community in which they live.

The Mid-Atlantic Union of Vietnamese Student Associations (MAUVSA) proudly presents the 15th annual MAUVSA Advance Conference (MAC XV) taking place at the Falls Church Marriott Fairview Park. For over ten years, MAC has brought together thousands of young adults with a multitude of backgrounds to give them a chance to explore and find success.

The theme for MAC XV is Infinite Reflections. We hope that our theme represents the endless ways in which we see ourselves and the world around us. Every person carries their own experiences, values, cultures, and stories, each shaping the reflection of who they are today. Yet, just as the waters of the Infinity Sea reflect the sky, the people we meet and the communities we build can reflect parts of ourselves that we may have never noticed before

The main objective is to help create a level of confidence and reassurance in yourself and trust in your abilities to end up where you want to be. We want everyone to use this conference as a moment in which you can look internally and figure out what you need in order to comfortably take the next step in your life because there is no right or wrong path that needs to be followed. We want to help reassure you that everything will eventually fall into place and it will be just fine.
