ABOUT THE FORUM

More than ever, First Nation leaders are taking control over their economic futures by partnering with industry and government to develop Indigenous-led projects that align with their social, environmental, community and cultural objectives.

Major projects continue to prompt public dialogue regarding ‘duty to consult’, ‘best practices', and ‘celebrating success stories’ in industry and First Nations partnerships.

It is vital that we continue to come together and have conversations Nation to Nation, Nation to Government and Nation to Industry, to share our visions of continued economic development and diversification, for the prosperity of all.

First Nations Business Conference in Northern B.C. for Everyone

Nation2Nation was first founded in 2015 to create an Economic Development forum from a First Nations perspective in Northwest BC. The goal of the Nation2Nation Forum was to bring together First Nations, Industry and Government to engage in dialogue about economic development and doing business with First Nations. The forum has become an annual event and the team behind it has developed additional events for the region, redefining the brand as Nation2Nation Events.
