Event Details
Format: In Person
Date: November 10–11, 2025
Aside from the valuable new connections that all attendees will gain, a primary goal of our regional forums is to engage technology-minded leaders and executives at tribes and tribal enterprises in an environment that fosters opportunity, open discussions on shared challenges, and, in some cases, the development of collaborative new ideas and innovations.
Why Attend
For anyone who has been to our annual TribalNet Conference and Tradeshow, you’ll know that one of the very best parts of the event is the time to meet and network with peers who understand the unique challenges tribes face, and who can offer support around best practices, or provide tips and insights on technology solutions/providers.
Your participation and engagement will strengthen YOUR regional group and increase the benefits that will come back to you and your organization.
These events are FREE to attend for representatives at tribal organizations and enterprises.

What People Are Saying
These events are a fantastic opportunity for Tribal Organizations to connect and engage in meaningful discussions about emerging topics relevant to their region. The smaller, more intimate setting allows for deeper conversations and stronger networking connections. One of the aspects I enjoy the most is the sense of community that these forums foster. Connecting with the TribalHub Community has been incredibly beneficial, as it has provided valuable insights on trending topics to support organizations across the United States and ideating with each region to offer solutions.
