Join us on this transformative journey towards a more inclusive and prosperous future.
92 vendor booth tradeshow of First Nation, Metis and Inuit Entrepreneurs, Consultants, Tech Professionals, Artisans, 100% Community owned business(es) and our Non-Indigenous ally partners gathering together to support one another and shop the business landscape of Alberta and beyond.
The event takes a fresh grassroots approach to the roundtable format by fostering interactive panel discussion. While traditional introductions will set the stage, the Q&A sessions will kick off immediately, encouraging dynamic Indigenous engagement panelists to sharing their knowledge as to how Industry and Indigenous communities can better work together to harmonize Indigenous inclusion as identified in Call to Action 92. For individuals considering a panelist role, readiness and alertness are key, as anonymous questions from the audience will challenge and provoke thoughtful responses.
A Gala Dinner highlighting Indigenous culture, entertainment and showcasing our sponsors, partners, allies and our Indigenous entrepreneur profiles on our big screen. Participants of the tradeshow will be given an opportunity to select one Indigenous Entrepreneur booth, one Indigenous Consultant booth, and one Indigenous Tech booth of their choosing to receive a recognition award. Winners will be announced at the evening gala.
