FS West Coast 2025 – Day 1

Since 2017, Forward Summit has been more than just a conference, it’s a powerful gathering place where Indigenous and non-Indigenous leaders come together in the spirit of respect, reciprocity, and shared prosperity. 

Over the years, we’ve welcomed thousands from the very best in business, community leadership, and innovation to engage in meaningful dialogue, share lived experiences, and chart new pathways toward economic sovereignty for Indigenous communities across Canada. 

With more than 24 high-impact panels & sessions, dynamic networking opportunities, over 200 Nations represented, and 400+ businesses participating, Forward Summit is where relationships are built, opportunities are forged, and commitments to action are made. 

Day 2 of Forward Summit features Workforce Forward, Canada’s premier gathering dedicated to advancing Indigenous inclusion in workplaces nationwide. Experience the power of two interconnected events that together ignite lasting change. 

This is more than an event, it’s a movement. Bring your voice. Share your vision. Help shape a future where Indigenous prosperity is not just imagined, but realized. 

Join us in the circle.
