MCert's first step towards clarity is convening.

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 intentionally designed to foster focus, connection, and collaborative thinking. The campus is located approximately 30 minutes from San Jose International Airport.

Attendees may arrive anytime on March 19, 2026, followed by a welcome dinner that evening. The full day of facilitated sessions will take place on March 20, concluding at 5:00 PM PT to allow for smooth travel home ahead of the weekend.
