Move United Education Conference
May 11 - 13, 2027
Ann Arbor, Michigan
Locally Hosted By:
University of Michigan Adaptive Sports & Fitness
Ann Arbor Sports Commission
Overview
Hosted in collaboration with the University of Michigan Adaptive Sports and Fitness team and the Ann Arbor Sports Commission.
Featuring the Paralympic Leap Summit, in collaboration with the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee and LA28.
More than 500 adaptive sport leaders, coaches, educators, healthcare professionals, and advocates will gather for the nation’s premier adaptive sport education event. This year’s theme, Momentum to Movement, asks a simple question: how do today’s investments in coaching, schools, healthcare, and community partnerships shape adaptive sport for years to come. As the nation looks toward the 2028 Paralympic Games in Los Angeles, the opportunity is clear — turn momentum into lasting movement, so adaptive sport becomes the expectation, not the exception.
Across three dynamic days, you’ll experience hands-on training, inspiring keynotes, sport demonstrations, and meaningful connections designed to elevate your impact. Whether you lead a national organization or volunteer in your community, you’ll leave with practical strategies, an expanded network, and tools to drive lasting change.
