NIL conference platform

The NIL conference platform for virtual, in-person and hybrid summits

Run your NIL conference at yourname.nilconferences.com: its own checkout, live talks and replays, a live room, breakouts, sponsor booths and door check-in. Online, in person or both.

Free to sign up with your NNIL Innovations account.

What NIL Conferences is

NIL Conferences by NIL Innovations is an NIL education event platform. A school, league, association or our own team sets up an NIL conference with tickets, talks, speakers and sponsors, and attendees register and pay on the event's own page, with no account needed.

On the day, talks stream live with chat, questions and polls; breakouts split people into small rooms; and the door checks people in with live codes that change every thirty seconds. That makes it as much a virtual and hybrid NIL summit platform as an in-person one. Afterward, replays and certificates wait on each attendee's page, and student-athletes who attended are credited on their school's NILift progress.

What the NIL education event platform includes

Tickets and checkout

Ticket tiers, coupons, registration questions and secure checkout on the event's own page; tickets can admit in person, online or both.

Live talks and replays

Stream talks live, with replays afterward for the tickets that include them.

A live room on every talk

Chat, questions with upvotes and polls, with moderators who can hide posts and mute people.

Breakouts

Small-group rooms of two to twelve on a talk, with an adult moderator required wherever a minor is present.

Networking for adults

An opt-in attendee directory where adults request one-to-one meetings.

Sponsors and booths

Sponsor tiers brands buy online, and a booth page per sponsor with a lead form; leads go to the sponsor only, with consent.

Door check-in

Attendees show a live door pass; staff scan it with the gate scanner or check people in by name.

Emails that send

Reminders and your own campaigns, sent now, on a schedule or automatically, to everyone, those who came or those who missed it.

Counts as NILift credit

Student-athletes who check in, or watch past your threshold while signed in, are credited on their school's NILift progress.

Speakers and team roles

Speakers manage their slides and bio; your team gets owner, editor, moderator, speaker manager or finance roles.

Repeating sessions and copies

Run a session every week or month that people pick from, or copy a conference with its tickets, talks and emails.

Times in every visitor's zone

Every time shows in the visitor's own time zone, with add-to-calendar for the program, each talk and an attendee's own talks.

Why schools run their own NIL summit

NIL education works best when it comes from the people athletes already trust: their school, their league and the brands in their town. Running your own NIL conference keeps that trust and that audience, instead of sending everyone to someone else's event.

Because NIL Conferences is part of NIL Innovations, attendance counts toward a school's NILift program, sponsors come from brands already on the marketplace, and every safeguard for minors (in breakouts, networking and the live room) is built in rather than left to the organizer.

NIL conference questions

What is NIL Conferences?

NIL Conferences is the NIL conference and education event platform from NIL Innovations. Schools, leagues and associations use it to run virtual, in-person and hybrid NIL summits with tickets, live talks, sponsors and check-in.

Can it run a virtual or hybrid NIL summit?

Yes. Choose online, in person or hybrid; talks stream live with a live room, and in-person tickets check in at the door with live codes.

Do I need my own website or domain?

No. Every conference gets its own address at yourname.nilconferences.com, with registration and checkout on the page.

Do attendees need an account?

No. Attendees register with their email and open their own page from a private link; signing in links their attendance to their profile.

How do sponsors and booths work?

You set sponsor tiers and brands buy them online. A tier with a booth gives the sponsor a booth page with a lead form, and leads go only to that sponsor, with the attendee's consent.

How are minors protected?

Minors are protected by rules the platform enforces. Networking is adults only, a breakout with a minor opens only with an adult moderator, and minors show as first name and last initial.

Does attendance count for NILift?

Yes, when the organizer turns it on. Student-athletes who check in at the door, or watch past the conference's threshold while signed in, are credited on their school's NILift progress.

Can I check people in at the door?

Yes. Each in-person attendee has a live door pass; staff scan it with the gate scanner or the conference's Door tab, or find people by name.

What does it cost?

Setting up a conference is free. A commission and card processing apply to paid registrations.

Is NIL Conferences part of NIL Innovations?

Yes. You run it from your NIL Innovations account, beside your other programs.
