The Third Annual UMD Global Conference will unite Macedonians and friends of Macedonia from five continents from a variety of fields including business, government, the arts, and education for a unique two-and-a-half day experience.  2011 marks the 20th Anniversary of Macedonia’s Independence as a free, independent, and sovereign nation-state for the Macedonian people, and all citizens of Macedonia.  Macedonians and friends of Macedonia will converge on Washington to discuss the progress Macedonia has made in the last twenty years, the current situation, and what needs to be done - Shaping the Future!

Join us June 23-25, 2011 as we celebrate Macedonia in the heart of Washington, D.C. – the JW Marriott – blocks away from the White House, the National Mall, Congress, and all the wonderful monuments and museums.  Bring your entire family and spend a few days sightseeing while celebrating our Macedonian heritage!

“Our country is faced with a large challenge. Its goal of Euro-Atlantic integration is challenged by an irrational problem imposed by a single member state of NATO and the EU. We are encouraged by the support of the USA, Canada and many other nations in discussions on overcoming this problem that continue under the auspices of the United Nations. I am personally grateful to the Macedonian Diaspora, and through organizations such as the United Macedonian Diaspora, for being Ambassadors for their homeland, Macedonia.”

- Macedonian President Gjorge Ivanov in a letter to the first UMD Global Conference guests
