26th Annual TribalNet Conference Set for September in Reno, NV
The 26th Annual TribalNet Conference & Tradeshow, a cornerstone event for Native American technology professionals, is scheduled for September 14–18, 2025, at the Grand Sierra Resort and Casino in Reno, Nevada. Organized by TribalHub, gathering unites over 700 attendees from 34 states to explore cutting-edge solutions in tribal gaming, government, and health IT, fostering collaboration and innovation under the theme “Bringing Technology and Tribes Together.”

A Unique Platform for Tribal Technology
Unlike typical conferences, TribalNet offers an immersive experience tailored to Native American industries. With nearly 40 sessions across seven tracks, AI Revolution, Cybersecurity, Tribal Gaming & Hospitality Technology, Tribal Government Technology, Tribal Health Information Management, General Technology, and Leadership & Management, the event addresses critical challenges like ransomware and digital transformation.
“Attendees will learn alongside their peers, leading experts, and vendors, and learn about solutions and technologies that other tribes are using, solutions that could transform the way their tribe operates,” said Michael Day, TribalHub Executive Officer.
Networking and Vendor Partnerships
TribalNet attracts decision-makers, with 70% of attendees in manager-or-higher roles, including CIOs, IT Directors, and Tribal Council members, and 90% returning annually.
The tradeshow floor, featuring over 200 vendors, facilitates partnerships crucial for technology investments. “One connection at TribalNet could save a tribe thousands,” Day noted.
With representatives from tribal gaming, government, and health IT, attendees from 34 states build peer-to-peer relationships and collaborate on shared challenges, such as implementing AI policies or upgrading electronic health systems, in a $50 billion tribal economy.
Since 1999, TribalNet has connected tribes with technology to support self-sufficiency. The 2025 event offers learning from elite speakers, including thought leaders with deep tribal expertise, and opportunities to explore tools like cybersecurity platforms and cloud storage.
Attendees gain actionable insights to drive digital infrastructure improvements, critical in an era of rising cyber threats. Early registration by August 1, 2025, saves $100, with TribalHub members saving $200.
