Absolutely. The benefits of becoming a SPONSOR or TRADESHOW EXHIBITOR include increased visibility with indigenous communities, leaders, and decision-makers. You'll have the ability to network with over 300+ attendees and participants will have the opportunity to speak in front of conference delegates, presenting an invaluable chance to showcase their products and services to potential Indigenous buyers.
The Conference welcomes Indigenous entrepreneurs, First Nation community leaders, and businesses, as well as non-Indigenous entrepreneurs, organizations, and industry professionals interested in exploring business opportunities and learning about new economic development initiatives that support Indigenous communities and businesses across Ontario
In September 2024, OFNEDA hosted its Annual Conference in Ottawa which drew approximately 290 delegates that included Economic Development Officers, First Nation Chiefs and Councillors, Indigenous Business Owners, Government Officials, Industry Leaders, Corporate Sponsors and other dignitaries together for a value-packed agenda that exceeded all expectations.
