“Everything was great, clean, friendly, and a pleasant stay.

The speakers I enjoyed the most were the Chairmans from MHA, Seminole, Ak-Chin and Pechanga discussing their endeavors with their tribes and the successful progress they have made. It was inspiring to hear the good economic development progress.”

“This year’s conference held a lot of networking opportunities because of the different topics being discussed. It always helps us in a broader sense, while still being able to engage 1×1 with attendees. The Bingo card always works well in driving people to your booth. I was personally able to reconnect with 2 clients from my previous position and discuss their needs.”

Alicia Finley | HR Services Director, Blue Stone Strategy Group
