A huge thank you to all of our speakers, exhibitors, partners and visitors who participated in what was an incredible and immersive experience across two days. We saw an unprecedented 7,000 delegates from across the globe register and sign up, making this the largest ever online gathering for Indigenous business leaders and investors alike.

Together we have created something amazing, and in the coming weeks we’ll be sharing our future plans, how you can continue to partner with us, and the work we will be doing to pave the way for building Indigenous prosperity. 

We would love to hear from you and about your experience of the Forum, and if you would like to keep up to date on what we are doing. Please let us know, and we will be in touch soon.

  • "The World Indigenous Forum is going to be so important, because this is going to be the first time ever, we gather together as brethren. A place where we can connect as entrepreneurs, as business people, as indigenous leaders. The World Indigenous Forum gives us the opportunity to shape our own narrative, through our own voices, through our own perceptions, and on our own terms"

    Founder of Blueprints
  • Thank you for your closing remarks, it echoes the words of our ancestors, we have wisdom and knowledge of the lands and animals, spirituality long before religions arrived. We have cultural and language hanging on almost to extinction. Thank you for building the forum.

  • The absolute highlight of my day was listening to a most motivating and opening conference talk from Tamara Lakomy - Chair, World Indigenous Forum (best I have ever heard-and I have been to a lot). I had to contact my daughter and relay my thoughts that she should listen to that message-“it is what every Indigenous citizen and company leader should hear.!!!”
