Breaking down barriers and creating opportunities for sustainable pathways to self-determination

This national event brings together Indigenous leaders, educators, employers, policy makers and economic development practitioners to advance culturally grounded pathways across education, employment and economic development.
The 2026 programme will feature three focused learning streams, Indigenous-led case studies and practical discussions exploring how to strengthen student engagement, expand culturally safe employment pathways and unlock sustainable economic opportunity for First Nations communities.
Across one powerful event, you will gain access to three dedicated streams with a single ticket:
- Indigenous Education: Strengthening engagement and outcomes through culturally responsive, whole-school approaches
- Indigenous Employment: Expanding career pathways through culturally safe workplaces and community-led employment models
- Indigenous Economic Development: Driving Indigenous-led enterprise, investment and economic opportunity
