The Gathering Business Summit 2026

The Gathering Business Summit is the American Indian Chamber of Commerce of Oklahoma's premier statewide event dedicated to Native business leadership, economic collaboration, and the future of Native business development across Oklahoma and Indian Country. Guided by AICCO's long-term strategic vision, The Gathering brings together tribal leaders, Native-owned businesses, entrepreneurs, corporate partners, government agencies, economic development organizations, and regional stakeholders to strengthen relationships and create meaningful opportunities for growth. This year's Gathering expands beyond the traditional conference model by creating intentional space for relationship-building, strategic dialogue, and collaborative leadership focused on Oklahoma's economic future. Through keynote discussions, business engagement opportunities, partnership development, exhibitor showcases, and regional leadership conversations, attendees will engage in meaningful dialogue around: Native business growth and entrepreneurship, Tribal and regional economic development, Procurement and partnership opportunities, Workforce and infrastructure collaboration, Leadership development and innovation, Strategic partnerships across sectors. At the center of this year's vision is a focus on connection --- creating opportunities for tribal leadership, business leaders, economic development partners, and community stakeholders to come together in meaningful conversation that leads to action. The Gathering is more than a conference. It is where relationships are strengthened, ideas are shared, partnerships are formed, and the future of Native business and economic opportunity is shaped. Join us as we come together to build the next chapter of Native business leadership in Oklahoma.
