TiE UNICON
Powered by TiEcon 2026 | April 26 – May 1

TiE UNICON is an exclusive educator experience built around TiEcon Silicon Valley 2026.

TiEcon is the central gathering point — the catalyst that brings university educators, ecosystem builders, founders, and investors together in Silicon Valley. UNICON is intentionally designed to leverage this global moment, creating a structured learning and immersion experience for academic leaders who want to elevate entrepreneurship education at their institutions.

This is not a standalone tour. It is a curated educator track anchored in one of the world’s most influential entrepreneurship conferences.

The goal is simple and practical:

• Learn proven best practices in entrepreneurship education
• Exchange ideas with like-minded educators from around the world
• Walk away with at least one actionable concept you can implement at your institution the very next semester
