Untapped Impact 2026 Where Human Services & Community Meet Innovation

Most conferences talk about underserved communities.

This one invites them in.

Untapped Impact 2026 is a national gathering where the people who run programs and the people those programs exist to serve come together in the same building — to learn, to connect, and to build something better.

We're bringing together human services professionals, nonprofit leaders, government agency staff, and technologists alongside community members who've navigated reentry, housing instability, workforce barriers, homelessness, behavioral health challenges, and systemic underservice — because the best solutions are built by the people closest to the problem.

This year's focus: Reentry and Justice-Involved Communities — the sector most ready for transformation and most in need of the right tools.

Track A — Human Services Professionals:

• Nonprofit executive directors and program directors
• Case managers and social workers
• Reentry and workforce development professionals
• Homeless services and housing stability coordinators
• Behavioral health program staff
• Government agency staff (corrections, probation, social services, workforce)
• Funders, foundation staff, and grant makers
• Technology vendors and innovators serving the sector

Track B — The Untapped Community:

• Formerly incarcerated individuals rebuilding after the system
• People navigating reentry, housing, employment, or recovery
• Survivors of systemic barriers — homelessness, unemployment, behavioral health
• Community advocates and peer navigators with lived experience
• Anyone who has been underserved and is ready to rise

If the system has ever made you feel like you don't belong at the table — this conference was built for you.

Powerful voices from national reentry leaders, formerly incarcerated changemakers, technology innovators, and mission-driven founders — including Untapped Solutions CEO and Co-Founder Andre Peart, who spent years navigating the same systems this conference is designed to transform.

The focus sector for Untapped Impact 2026 is Reentry.

Every year Untapped Impact will shine a spotlight on the sector most ready for transformation. In 2026 that's reentry — a space where technology has been slow to arrive, where caseworkers are overwhelmed, and where the people being served deserve so much more than what the system currently offers.

We're bringing the tools, the conversations, and the community together to change that.
