HBCUniverse Summit 2026: Launchpad to Legacy

On Saturday, February 7, 2026, HBCUniverse Summit returns to Morgan State University’s Student Center for a powerful, future-focused gathering of HBCU innovators, builders, and believers.

With the theme “Launchpad to Legacy,” this year’s Summit is all about helping students and young professionals move from ideas to impact. Throughout the day, attendees will connect with founders, VCs, ecosystem builders, tech leaders, and creatives who are actively shaping what’s next for innovation.

The Summit will feature:

• Keynote conversations with visionary leaders who turned campus hustle into a lasting legacy
• Interactive panels & fireside chats on tech, venture capital, creative entrepreneurship, and social impact
• Founder spotlights and pitch moments highlighting emerging HBCU-led startups
• Hands-on workshops focused on funding, product building, storytelling, and personal brand elevation
• Networking lounges & curated connections linking students with mentors, investors, and hiring partners

Designed as both a launchpad for new ventures and a homecoming for big ideas, HBCUniverse Summit 2026 at Morgan State will equip attendees with the tools, relationships, and inspiration to build legacies that outlive them—on campus, in community, and across the globe.

This is a free entry ticket for students only. You will be required to present your Student ID at Check-In.

For non-students the cost is $15.
