October 1, 2024
MESA, AZ — The National Center for American Indian Enterprise Development (The National Center) will host the 39th annual Reservation Economic Summit (RES) from March 10-13, 2025 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada. In 2024, more than 4,600 people attended RES, making it the largest gathering in the four-decade history of the event. The theme for RES 2025 is “Beyond Boundaries” – a celebration of the limitless potential and resilience that define Indigenous communities across the U.S. and abroad. Speakers, sessions, and events at RES 2025 will highlight the vitality of Indian Country, honoring the stories, spirit, and collaboration that continue to push boundaries.
Through October 24th, The National Center is offering a Flash Sale – the lowest registration price for RES 2025. Those attending are encouraged to register early to take advantage of this discount pricing.
“RES 2024 set a high bar, but I am confident RES 2025 will be our largest and best event yet,” said National Center CEO and President, Chris James. “In 2025, we will look ‘Beyond Boundaries’ – exploring the limitless potential of our communities, the strength of our traditions, and the groundbreaking contributions tribes and Indigenous-owned businesses are making in the U.S. and around the world. For four days in March, Las Vegas will be where business gets done and where our past, present, and future converge. I hope you’ll join us – and bring your energy and vision to the premier economic development event in Indian Country.”
RES 2025 will feature business programming, breakout sessions, one-on-one training, and networking opportunities. Subject-matter experts, including well-known keynote speakers, will share their insights and wisdom across diverse fields. RES attendees have the opportunity to submit suggested sessions and speakers. The deadline to submit a panel or speaker is November 29, 2024.
The trade show at RES is one of the largest in Indian Country, featuring hundreds of vendors representing all sectors of the economy. RES has opportunities for both buyers and suppliers to connect with potential partners. The American Indian Artisan Market will showcase talented native artists and craftsmen from across the country. RES 2025 will also recognize and honor individuals and businesses that are moving our economy forward, as well as welcome the newest inductees in the Native American 40 Under 40 awards program, which just celebrated its 15th Anniversary.
Additional details, including full agenda, will be available in the coming months. Those interested in sponsoring or getting more involved in RES are encouraged to check out the event prospectus. For more information, please visit the RES website.
