About the event

Indigenous Trailblazers Summit 2025

The Indigenous Trailblazers Summit is an unparalleled event, meticulously crafted by Indigenous grassroots efforts. This unique experience seamlessly integrates culture, tradition, and ceremonial process into the realm of business, ensuring a harmonious blend of success and celebration.

Acting as a crucial platform, the summit amplifies the voices, knowledge, and business wisdom of Indigenous leaders, professionals, and the broader business community. It serves as a dedicated space where Indigenous and non-Indigenous allies converge to champion, listen, learn, and showcase the vibrancy of the prairies’ business landscape and beyond.

Attendees can immerse themselves in a 92-booth trade show highlighting 46 First Nation, Métis, and Inuit entrepreneurs, consultants, tech professionals, community-owned businesses, artisans, as well as supportive non-Indigenous industry friends.

Our interactive roundtable discussions adopt a grassroots approach, swiftly transitioning into engaging Q&A sessions after concise introductions. This format fosters lively participation among Indigenous panelists, sharing invaluable insights, expertise, and experiences. Each panel discussion centers on fostering more effective collaboration between industries and Indigenous communities to advance Indigenous inclusion, aligning with Call to Action 92.

Our tradeshow delegates will have the opportunity to nominate one outstanding exhibitor from each of the following categories to receive a special recognition award:

Indigenous Entrepreneur booth
Indigenous Consultant booth

The summit will conclude in a celebration of Indigenous culture and entertainment. During the closing ceremonies, we will announce our award winners and honor our sponsoring friends.
