Pioneering Partnerships: The Indigenous Partnership Success Showcase Celebrates Five Years of Reconciliation in Action with June 5-6 event – EnergyNow Media
April 9, 2024
In the heart of Vancouver, the Indigenous Partnership Success Showcase (IPSS) will mark its fifth anniversary at the Convention Centre West. This event, designed to be a crossroads of innovative partnerships and Reconciliation, stands as a testament to the evolving relationship between Indigenous communities and the broader Canadian business landscape.
Five years ago, the enactment of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA) in British Columbia set a new course for Indigenous rights and partnerships. It is against this backdrop that IPSS emerged, driven by the vision of creating a platform for showcasing the successes of Indigenous partnerships in the realm of business. The event has since flourished, underpinned by the leadership of figures such as Chief Ian Campbell, a hereditary chief of the Squamish First Nation, highlighting the event’s deep roots in Indigenous leadership and perspective.
The theme for 2024, “Reconciliation in Action,” couldn’t be more apt. It reflects a journey from the acknowledgment of past injustices to the active building of a future where Indigenous communities are integral to Canada’s economic fabric. This event is not just a conference but an ‘un-business conference,’ where traditional and modern ways of building relationships converge, offering a fresh perspective on partnership and success.
