ACE NextGen Unity Conference 2026

Event Date: September 19-20, 2026

Unity Conference 2026 — Two Days With 200+ Asian American Founders

Some rooms you leave with a stack of business cards. Unity is the other kind. Last year, one founder met their now-business partner over a pickleball game. Another found their first mentor at a speaker's office hours. This is where founders meet the friend they'll text at 11 p.m. about a new idea — or a late-night business problem.

Who's in the room ‍

Asian American entrepreneurs scaling from six figures to seven, and beyond
Side hustlers learning the ropes
Established founders giving back their time and expertise Individuals building capital while driving cultural impact
Founders who show up for the AAPI small business community

All generations, all business stages, all welcome.

Roughly half the room are alumni and half are first-timers — by the end of the weekend, you won't be able to tell who's who.

What the weekend looks like

Saturday is a full day of programming, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with sessions on e-commerce strategy, AI for small business, tax strategy, scaling, social media marketing, access to capital, and entrepreneur mental health — plus a Business Showcase running alongside. The day closes with a cocktail reception, 6 to 9 p.m.
Sunday keeps the weekend going with community activations and optional workshops. Show up as a business, not just an attendee Business Showcase tables and sponsorship packages are still open for organizations that want to put their product, service, or brand directly in front of this room. Reach out to the Unity team for current availability.
