UNITE 20. The future is here.
Unite 20 has been postponed to Jun 9-10, 2021.
Unite 20 isn't a conference, it's an experience. This year we want you to think bigger. Bigger venue. Bigger speakers. Bigger ideas. Bigger impact. With one of the most concentrated enterprise audiences of any digital workplace conference, Unite 20 is a rare opportunity to learn, network, and be inspired by visionaries and innovators in our space. With iconic keynotes from leaders in business, new media, futurism, AI and more, join us on a journey into the future of the workplace and dare to think bigger.
Learn
Inspirational keynotes, interactive break-out sessions, expert panels and customer success stories form the solid foundations of Unite. Whether you're a tech wizard, a business strategist or a communications specialist, our rich agenda is designed to shed new light on every facet of workplace innovation.
Network
Unite is a networking opportunity like no other. It's the only conference where the world's leading enterprises gather under one roof to exchange ideas and make new connections. Grow your network and become part of an exclusive community of innovators all working to solve common challenges.
Get Inspired
If our hand-picked selection of speakers wasn't enough to inspire big ideas, then our customers' stories will be. Find out what the biggest brands are doing to transform their workplace, supercharge employee experience and stay ahead of the competition.
Have Fun
And just when you thought it couldn't get any better, you remember it's Unily and we know how to party. On top of everything, Unite is a celebration of all that we have achieved in our strides to build the workplace of the future. Strap in and get ready for the full Unily experience.
VENUE. Hotel Indigo, Williamsburg.
Among the industrial warehouses and bohemian boutiques of Williamsburg is the ultra-contemporary and brand new Hotel Indigo. This year we're keeping everything contained in one space with hotel and venue under one roof. On top of a 10,000 sq ft main auditorium, the venue comes with dedicated space for break-out sessions, 1-2-1 meetings, and networking. With sleeping quarters in the same vicinity, this time you can eat, sleep and breathe Unily. And when it all gets too much, take a minute to relax by the pool on the open-air sun deck with views of the Manhattan skyline just across the East River. This is the setting where big ideas take root.
PARTY. Every night.
Last year at Unite we took you back to the 80's, this year we take you back to our roots. If you didn't know already, Unily was born in Britain and for our big showstopper we intend to transport you to London to experience the best of British culture. Think celebrity guests, cocktails in teacups, and the best musical talent Britain can offer.
And the fun doesn't stop there. Day 2 will culminate with a party hosted on Hotel Indigo's open-air pool deck where we'll join together for one last time to celebrate another awesome conference. Leave your swimwear at home.
WORKOUT. Run the BKLYN Bridge.
Every year we encourage Unite attendees to move outside of their comfort zones and try something new. This year, we invite you to experience New York like never before with a guided run across one of the city's most famous landmarks. Start your day right by soaking in Brooklyn's historic landscape while you raise your heart rate and prepare for an exhilarating day of learning and entertainment.
