About the Symposium
We are excited to announce that the 5th Annual Women in Tribal Gaming Symposium will be offered as a fully sponsored event! Thanks to the generosity of our amazing sponsors, we would like to invite you to celebrate this gathering with us at no charge to you.
On May 11th and 12th 2021, the Women in Tribal Gaming Symposium, consisting of informative panel discussions, interactive breakout sessions, and stimulating networking events, promises to deliver on the TGPN’s commitment to support and encourage professional development of our colleagues working in tribal gaming. Highlights of this year’s Symposium include our Keynote Address from Erica Pinto, Chairwoman of the Jamul Indian Village of California and presentation of our 2021 Woman Warrior Award to Crystal Echo Hawk, President and CEO of IllumiNative.
We want to encourage all women involved in tribal gaming to share in our goal of promoting diversity within the tribal gaming industry. We would like to take this opportunity to celebrate women and their essential contributions and leadership within our industry.
The Women in Tribal Gaming Symposium is a gathering of the most eclectic, innovative and trend-setting tribal government and gaming industry leaders. More than 200 women and men have attended the symposium each year since its inception. Representing various tribes, businesses, gaming operations, and gaming professionals, the Women in Tribal Gaming Symposium will be an incredible virtual experience.
