The NSW Indigenous Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to announce that ticket sales are officially open for The Summit 2026 — our flagship annual event and one of the most anticipated gatherings in the Indigenous business calendar. Taking place on 2 and 3 November 2026 at Rydges Resort Hunter Valley, on Wonnarua Country, The Summit 2026 promises to be our biggest and most exciting event yet. Whether you are an Indigenous business owner, a procurement or supply chain professional, a government representative, or an organisation committed to Indigenous economic participation — this is the event you do not want to miss.
Now in its fifth year, The Summit has grown into a nationally recognised platform for driving real outcomes in Indigenous business, procurement, employment and engagement. Over two powerful days, delegates come together to connect, collaborate and create the kind of relationships that move the needle — not just during the event, but long after it. Across the two days, attendees will experience:
Plenary sessions and panel discussions led by Indigenous and industry leaders
The Indigenous Business Marketplace and Tradeshow — a dynamic space for Indigenous businesses to showcase their products and capabilities directly to government, corporate and industry buyers
The Masterclass — a dedicated professional development session for those looking to deepen their knowledge and skills
The Employment & Careers Expo — connecting Indigenous jobseekers and employers in a dedicated space
Networking opportunities designed to foster meaningful, lasting relationships
The Summit Awards & Gala Dinner — an unforgettable evening celebrating excellence, impact and achievement across the Indigenous business community
