Our Mission
Moving towards reconciliation requires a clearly articulated destination: one where everyone can see themselves included. The mission of the Indigenous Partnerships Success Showcase is to cultivate a shared sense of purpose and direction.
By highlighting the relationships that underpin economic reconciliation, we enable participants and society at large to build towards an inclusive vision for what reconciliation looks like into the rest of the 21st century.
"It’s a movement for change. More Canadians than ever see themselves in this, whether they are Indigenous themselves or of any background. This conversation is meant to be deeply inclusive, and we welcome everyone.
With a larger venue at our next gathering, we will be able to delve into even more partnerships that have worked, spending more time exploring the obstacles that needed to be overcome and what all parties needed to learn from each other. Through this, we hope to foster the next wave of relationships and mutual opportunity in Canada, from coast to coast.”
— IPSS 2024 Chair Chief Ian Campbell (Squamish Nation)

About the Event
While formatted like a traditional business conference, with presentations and panel discussions, the underlying spirit of IPSS is about encouraging open and forthright conversations and storytelling, deeply rooted in authentic culture and practices.
Business and Indigenous leaders attend to share their experiences, and to learn from and be inspired by the work done by others.
Topics in 2024 include real estate and land development, technology and telecommunications, natural resources, finance and banking, trade and exports, Indigenous small businesses and more.
We are carefully designing the event space, itinerary and speakers' roster to cultivate a sense of openness and inclusion, to enable meaningful conversations across sectors and to advance a deeper understanding of groundbreaking ideas about reconciliation.
Please note that access to the 2024 Dinner is sold as an add-on. If you are purchasing tickets to both the conference and the dinner, select your appropriate conference ticket and the dinner add-on near the bottom of the list.
If you are purchasing dinner tickets only, select both the option titled “IPSS 2024 Ticket - DINNER ONLY” and the dinner add-on.

Purchasing more than one ticket?
We've tried to make ticketing for groups as pain-free as possible. Below are directions for ordering tickets for as-of-yet unknown individuals. Please note that Eventbrite enables each attendee's information to be copied to others on the order, simplifying the ticketing process for multiple registrations:
- Enter the company/organization name in the first name field.
- Sequentially number the unconfirmed attendees in the last name field. Ex: #1, #2, #3, etc.
- Enter the email of the person who is managing the ticket so they may access it for later edits.
- Please provide final names no later than Friday, May 3, 2024 at 4:00 pm Pacific. If names have been changed, please also provide any dietary preferences via email.
- Follow the link "Go to My Tickets" link (large orange button) in the email with the subject line "Your Tickets for Indigenous Partnerships Success Showcase 2024," and edit the attendee details. Please ensure that "Send confirmation email to new attendee," has been ticked so that the person attending receives their ticket.
- If applicable, edit any dinner registrations accordingly to ensure that names, emails and company names are identical.
If editing the name for a conference pass, and dinner tickets have been purchased as an add-on, please ensure that the same attendee name is displayed for the dinner as well as the conference. Likewise, if dinner tickets were purchased separately from conference tickets, please ensure that the name, email, and company names are identical between tickets.
