We’re thrilled to announce that the 6th annual Athletes Unite Conference will take place on Saturday, April 3, 2027, at Elizabeth City State University (ECSU) in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. Through our new partnership with ECSU Athletics, AUC27 will bring together more than 400 high school and college student-athletes for a day of learning, connection, and growth.
AUC27 will be more powerful than ever. Attendees will hear from an inspiring lineup of panelists, including elite athletes, industry experts, and thought leaders, sharing real stories of triumph, resilience, and success. Sessions will focus on mental health, financial literacy, personal and professional development, and NIL and branding.
The weekend kicks off on Friday, April 2, with the inaugural Athletes Unite Tech Tour in the Research Triangle. Student-athletes will go behind the scenes at leading technology companies and meet talent acquisition leaders, who will share insights on career pathways, recruiting, and how student-athletes can turn their unique strengths into professional success.
The Athletes Unite Conference is a pivotal gathering for current and former athletes nationwide. As college sports undergo major change, we provide tools and guidance for brand monetization and life beyond sports. Attendees connect with hiring managers and recruiters from sponsoring companies, while also gaining access to vital financial resources. Our mission is to empower athletes with the knowledge and support they need to build lasting financial stability.
Our conference offers sessions dedicated to connecting athletes with mental health support. We recognize the unique challenges they face and are committed to helping them thrive both in competition and in life.
We’re thrilled to share that the next Athletes Unite Conference is happening on April 3, 2027, hosted at Elizabeth City State University (ECSU).
Join us for a transformative experience where student-athletes come together to unite, inspire, and empower — driving forward conversations around identity, career readiness, and impact-driven connection. This is more than a conference. It’s a movement.
Let’s shape the future, together.
