“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.

1. On behalf of the Aseniwuche Winewak Nation (AWN), it is our great pleasure to welcome you to the Grande Cache Indigenous Entrepreneurship Conference. We are honored to host you in our beautiful mountain community, nestled in the heart of the MD of Greenview, where tradition and innovation meet.

2. AWN is guided by a deep commitment to preserving our unique culture, empowering our people, and fostering sustainable economic development. This conference reflects those values by bringing together Indigenous entrepreneurs, leaders, and allies to share knowledge, build partnerships, and inspire future generations.

3. We hope your time in Grande Cache is filled with meaningful connections, insightful conversations, and a renewed sense of purpose. May this gathering strengthen our collective journey toward self-determination and prosperity.
