Our next convening is scheduled for 2026
MCert’s first step towards clarity is a convening.
M.Cert Starts with convening, but it is more than an event.
We are uniting leaders to shape the future of youth mental health. This effort is grounded in building shared, evidence-backed standards that unlock trust, foster collaboration, and pave the way for real-world adoption of digital, subclinical tools.
Where, When, & Why
The convening will be held at 1440 Multiversity in Scotts Valley, CA, a setting designed to foster focus, connection, and collaborative thinking. The campus is located just 30 minutes from San Jose International Airport.

Our shared goal is to co-develop a blueprint that brings clarity to this fragmented market. We want to enable payors to adopt trusted tools confidently, expand access to high-quality support, and strengthen the pipeline of effective solutions across the digital mental health ecosystem.

Convening Details
Why This Convening Matters
Digital mental health innovations are growing rapidly—yet the field lacks the clarity, shared language, and trusted standards required for responsible adoption. Even when effective tools exist, they remain siloed, difficult to evaluate, and disconnected from the reimbursement, funding, and policy pathways that would allow them to scale.
MCert is catalyzing a shift from fragmented efforts to coordinated, cross-sector action.This 1.5-day experience brings together leaders who can activate real levers of change across Medicaid reimbursement, public policy, venture investment, philanthropy, and public–private partnership.
