Mark your calendar and secure your seat—early bird pricing for the 17th annual Indigenous Business Award (IBA) Gala ends August 15! Don’t miss your chance to join us for an unforgettable evening on Wednesday, November 5 at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver, as we honour the 2025 IBA recipients and celebrate Indigenous excellence in business across British Columbia. This year’s Gala Co-Directors are Geena Jackson and Chief Willie Sayers, two inspiring leaders whose work champions Indigenous entrepreneurship and community empowerment.
This year’s theme, Stronger Together, highlights leadership grounded in relationships, reciprocity, and respect for cultural knowledge systems. True strength comes from shared community responsibility and diverse voices. When we lead through collaboration and cultural understanding, we don’t just build strong teams—we create inclusive communities where our diversity becomes our greatest strength.
Program of Events:
- 5:30 – 6:30 PM: General Reception (featuring music by DJ OShow)
- 6:30 – 10:00 PM: Dinner & Award Presentation
Early bird tickets are $250 per seat until August 15. After that, regular price tickets will be $275. Each table accommodates up to 10 guests, making it a great opportunity to attend as a group or reserve a full table for your organization.
