“Hurry up, walk carefully” — these wise words from an Elder of the Aseniwuche Winewak Nation in Grande Cache invite us to move with purpose and respect. We welcome you to take that step and join us in Grande Cache, Alberta, for a unique opportunity to connect, learn, and celebrate the achievements of Indigenous Entrepreneurship and Tourism across the Eastern Slopes of the Rocky Mountains.
This inspiring conference features renowned keynote speakers, insightful breakout sessions, and dynamic business panels, all designed to inform, empower, and uplift.
