Native American Industry Day 2024

In collaboration with the U.S. Department of the Interior, GSA is bringing together Native American industry leaders, entrepreneurs, professionals, and allies to explore new contracting opportunities and foster growth as part of Native American Heritage Month. GSA’s Native American Industry Day is a unique event dedicated to celebrating and empowering Indigenous innovation, entrepreneurship, and economic development.

Event highlights include:

• Panel discussions: Engage in thought-provoking conversations on topics such as sustainable development, technology in tribal communities, economic sovereignty, and the intersection of traditional knowledge with modern business practices.
• Meet and greet sessions: Connect directly with GSA and other federal agency contracting and program officials through exclusive matchmaking opportunities, allowing Native American and tribally-owned businesses to build valuable partnerships.
• Networking opportunities: Meet like-minded professionals, entrepreneurs, and community leaders to build relationships, share experiences, and explore potential partnerships.

This event also showcases GSA and DOI leadership and program officials committed to promoting the 8(a) Program, Buy Indian Act, and other policies that help Native American-owned large and small businesses successfully connect with federal contracts and programs.
