The recommended starting point
The annual Black Manosphere Conclave is the recommended starting point for the Theo University experience. It gives prospective and incoming students a chance to meet instructors, hear from alumni, and connect with the wider BMc technical community.
Conclave attendance is strongly encouraged, but it is not required to enroll.
