For too long, Northern Indigenous entrepreneurs have had to travel south to find gatherings that speak to their ambitions. The Empowering Innovation Spirit Conference was born from a simple but necessary shift: creating a premier, culturally rooted space designed by the North, for the North.

From August 24–26, we are gathering 250+ Indigenous entrepreneurs, youth leaders, funders, and allies on the traditional territory of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation and the Ta'an Kwäch'än Council in Whitehorse, Yukon.

Partnering with EntrepreNorth is a tangible commitment to economic justice and TRC Call to Action #92. It is an opportunity to stand alongside Northern communities driving systems change through:

Cultural Immersions: Deepening understanding through on-the-land programming.

Knowledge Sharing: Supporting hands-on workshops and fireside chats.

Relationship Building: Connecting directly with the businesses and policy-makers shaping the North.

In the spirit of reciprocity, we are committed to uplifting our partners in a way that is meaningful and reflective of our shared values.

If this resonates with your mission, we would be honoured to discuss how we can collaborate.

Everyone keeps saying AI is “changing everything.”
But like… what does that actually mean?

Is it just better software? Are you going to have a job?
Will you still get to make art? Will you have robots in your home?
Or are we at the start of something much bigger?

This week Thursday at 5pm we’re hosting a 60-minute Zoom session with investor Chris Kay to break it down in plain language:
- Why AI is considered a full industrial shift
- What’s actually happening (beyond the hype)
- What this means for investing and building right now

If you’ve been curious but overwhelmed, this is a good place to start. There will be a presentation and a good question period.

Open to everyone. Totally free. Built for Northern investors, but useful for all. Come hang out with us Yukoners.
