We look forward to seeing you at UNITE 2026!

Powered by UNCF, UNITE is the nation’s premier annual convening for bold ideas, transformative leadership, and the future of higher education—centered on strengthening HBCUs and minority-serving institutions.

UNITE brings together presidents, board chairs, senior administrators, funders, and strategic partners for a dynamic, immersive experience focused on institutional capacity building, innovation, and long-term sustainability. Through high-impact plenaries, interactive workshops, and curated networking opportunities, participants gain practical strategies, fresh insights, and meaningful connections to drive transformational change on their campuses.

This is where higher education leaders come to learn, connect, and lead forward.
