UEC 2026
Bridging Emerging Talent and Industry Expertise.
The Undergraduate Entrepreneurship Conference (UEC), co-hosted by SEC and the Rotman Commerce International Business Association (RCIBA), offers companies opportunities to engage with emerging talent through case development, monetary or in-kind sponsorship, and participation as judges, panelists, or networking representatives. Our inaugural conference in March 2025 brought together 110+ students from four universities and 21 corporate partners, demonstrating the value of connecting industry professionals with the next generation of business leaders.
