What’s it like to step up and pitch your business at Indigenous Biz Con?

Sabrina Zamora, one of last year's winners, knows firsthand what this opportunity can mean. It’s a chance to build confidence, refine your pitch, get your business in front of an audience, and take the next step as an entrepreneur. Now, it’s your turn!

The 2026 Biz Pitch Contest is coming to Indigenous Biz Con V, giving Indigenous entrepreneurs an opportunity to put their business in the spotlight, sharpen their pitch, and compete for the chance to win.

And if you’ve been thinking about entering, tonight is a great time to get started.

All contestants are required to complete a Pitch Readiness Class before they can compete, and one of the available classes is happening tonight! There are additional dates and times available as well, so find the option that works for you and take that first step toward the 2026 competition.

What a week. What a room. What a vibe.

The IBG VIP Biz Lounge and Elevate Mixer brought together an incredible mix of leaders, entrepreneurs, and partners, creating space for real conversations, new connections, and meaningful opportunities throughout RES week.

From early morning meetings to late afternoon networking, the Lounge truly lived up to its purpose: a place to connect, collaborate, and build.

We were also honored to have special appearances from Sean Sherman, Gary Farmer, and Anne Marie Gillen of The 7th Movie, bringing even more energy, storytelling, and inspiration into the space.

And the Elevate Mixer? The perfect way to bring it all together! Great energy, great people, and the kind of moments that remind you why this work matters.

None of this would have been possible without the support of our amazing sponsors:
Perodigm, Mavid Construction Services, LLC, Revel Investments, Skenandore Wilson LLP, M3 Insurance, Sun Bear Industries, Aambé, Woodstone Inc, NativeAmericans.com, Indigenous Cannabis Industry Association, and a special thank you to our reception sponsor Discover Navajo.

We’re grateful to everyone who showed up, leaned in, and made this space what it was.

Until next time.
