2026 Schedule of Events - United Conference

Wellbeing Rx: Healing Ourselves, Strengthening Our Communities

Our UNITED 2027 general admission pass gives you free access to every main conference session. To customize your experience, you can add pre-conference workshops or meal plans during checkout for an additional fee. Sessions will take place across Northern Michigan University’s campus, with a continuous shuttle loop connecting key locations, including the Northern Center, Woodland Park Opportunity Area, Jacobetti Complex, and a down-campus stop outside of The Woods, to ensure accessible transportation throughout the event.

The 2027 UNITED Conference continues the powerful evolution of Northern Michigan University’s longstanding UNITED Conference – a three-day multiconference experience that brings together our people, our place, and our potential under one shared vision. Anchored in the university's strategic plan, Our Compass, and guided by NMU’s values of inclusion, wellbeing, and empowerment, UNITED integrates cornerstone initiatives such as, the Wildcat Wellbeing Fair, Poetry Without Borders, the Common Reader Program, Buzz Session, and the inaugural One Health Symposium — into one cohesive experience. Together, these events form a dynamic ecosystem that uplifts wellness, leadership, and equity, inviting every student, employee, and community member to learn, lead, and thrive together.
