Description

Indigenous Biz Con provides an opportunity for attendees to learn, network, and collaborate to build meaningful partnerships that result in business, all while breaking down barriers to economic development, building community and elevating the voices of Native entrepreneurs. The event features real business operators at the forefront, engaging discussions, a Natives vendors marketplace and much more. The event will kick off with an evening reception on Monday, Oct. 10, followed by speakers and panels throughout the day on Tuesday, Oct. 11. One of many event highlights will be an evening gala to celebrate Indigenous Peoples' Day on Tuesday evening. The event will close midday Wednesday, Oct. 12. A portion of the proceeds from the event will be donated to the American Indian Chamber of Commerce of Wisconsin. We are excited to gather together to share knowledge, culture and community. We hope you will join us at Indigenous Biz Con!
