MESA, AZ – The National Center for American Indian Enterprise Development (The National Center) will host the 39th annual Reservation Economic Summit (RES) from March 10-13, 2025 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, NV. In 2024, more than 4,600 people attended RES, making it the largest gathering in the four-decade history of the event. Speakers, sessions, and events at RES 2025 will highlight the vitality of Indian Country, honoring the stories, spirit, and collaboration that continue to push boundaries.
“RES 2024 set a high bar, but I am confident RES 2025 will be our largest and best event yet,” said Chris James, National Center CEO and President. “In 2025, we will look ‘Beyond Boundaries,’ exploring the limitless potential of our communities, the strength of our traditions, and the groundbreaking contributions tribes and Indigenous-owned businesses are making in the U.S. and around the world. For four days in March, Las Vegas will be where business gets done and where our past, present, and future converge. I hope you’ll join us and bring your energy and vision to the premier economic development event in Indian Country.”
RES 2025 will feature business programming, breakout sessions, one-on-one training, and networking opportunities. Subject-matter experts, including well-known keynote speakers, will share their insights and wisdom across diverse fields. The tradeshow at RES is one of the largest in Indian Country, featuring hundreds of vendors representing all sectors of the economy. RES has opportunities for both buyers and suppliers to connect with potential partners. The American Indian Artisan Market will showcase talented Native artists and craftsmen from across the country.
