Why Attend

Aside from the great new connections that all attendees will gain, a primary intent of our regional forums is always to engage technology minded leaders and executives at tribes and tribal enterprises within an environment that allows everyone to uncover opportunities, openly discuss shared challenges and in some prior cases, leave with collaborative new ideas and innovation.

Who Should Attend

Representatives at tribal organizations and enterprises can attend Regional Forums for FREE!

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Vendors can only attend this event through a sponsorship listed above. Individual badges for vendors are not available; vendors cannot come as an attendee. The only way for a vendor to participate is by sponsoring the event and utilizing one of the badges that are included in your sponsorship package.

Let’s explore the path to A.I. integrity, guided by responsible practices and policies.
