Palais des congrès de Montréal
Montreal, Quebec
This conference is a gathering place for Indigenous professionals, leaders, and changemakers dedicated to advancing economic prosperity, strengthening capacity, and improving social outcomes in Indigenous communities. Centered on the theme of Generating Wealth, Growing Capacity for a Stronger Community, it explores practical tools, innovative models, and culturally grounded approaches that support long-term self-determination and overall community well-being.
Through expert-led sessions, community success stories, and peer-driven learning, participants will gain knowledge and strategies to build financial systems, enhance governance, and foster leadership that delivers meaningful impact. Together, we’ll explore how wealth generation and capacity development go hand in hand with improving health, education, and overall quality of life in our Nations.
