DALLAS, TX – The TribalNet Conference & Tradeshow will take place September 20-24 at the Hilton Anatole Dallas, 2201 N. Stemmons Freeway. The annual event, now approaching its 30th year, brings together technology leaders from tribal governments, gaming operations, and health organizations across Indian Country.
The conference offers sessions across several tracks, including general technology, cybersecurity, AI, leadership, technical topics, tribal gaming and hospitality, tribal government and member services, and tribal health information management.
Tara Fisher, Director of IT Gaming and Hospitality at Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation and a member of TribalNet’s Gaming & Hospitality Advisory Board, said the conference offers a range of relevant topics for tribal technology professionals.
“I’m always interested in hearing about what’s happening in gaming and hospitality, especially the new technologies and digital experiences that are being developed and deployed,” said Fisher. “What I find interesting is how the different topics come together from AI and cybersecurity to gaming, hospitality, and leadership. The sessions highlight how technology can be used strategically to improve operations and enhance guest experiences.”
JR Walters, Information Technology Executive Director with the Samish Indian Nation and a member of TribalNet’s Government & Member Services Board, said the conference offers relevant content across many topics and addresses the specific needs of tribal organizations.
“The most exciting aspect for me is the sheer volume of useful, relevant topics presented by experts across the industry,” said Walters. “What sets TribalNet apart is its focus on the unique needs of tribal organizations, including the distinct governance structures of tribes and the importance of sovereignty. You leave the conference not only with knowledge from industry experts, but also with a strong network of tribal technology leaders who continue to serve as resources long after the event ends.”
