Support Our Work

Dear ICIA Supporter,

We invite you to the 3rd annual National Indigenous Cannabis Policy & Industry Summit, November 13-15, 2024, to be held in Washington, DC. Three years ago, the ICIA leadership created the national conference to support the mission, vision, and values of ICIA, which is to empower and connect Indian Country to lead cannabis policy and regulatory reform by creating a forum for Tribes to come together and discuss the complex and urgent issues of importance. On behalf of the ICIA board of directors, we invite you to sponsor, attend and provide a message at the 2024 ICIA National Conference, and we kindly request you to consider our conference sponsorship opportunities as an option.

Your kind consideration to sponsor the 2024 National Indigenous Cannabis Policy & Industry Summit will help ICIA achieve the goals of advancing tribal sovereignty in federal cannabis reform. At the 2024 National Indigenous Cannabis Policy & Industry Summit we expect:

• Some 200 attendees comprised of native cannabis leaders to create stronger networks, impact public policy, help foster economic growth, and continue our personal and professional development while offering encouragement and support for one another.

• An agenda comprising workshops and sessions on topics critical to Indigenous cannabis issues.

• A moment to take the time to celebrate tribal cannabis trailblazers- the warriors that are supporting the mission of Empowering Our Communities.

• ICIA Showcase featuring a variety of artisans, exhibits and vendors with information on services and products relevant to hemp and cannabis professionals.

• Outstanding networking opportunities and general session options

• Opportunity for Tribal Regulators and Policy Leaders to have roundtable and think tank discussions

• Engage with Congressional Leaders to advance the rights and interests of Tribal Nations in federal and state cannabis reform.

When becoming a partner of the 2024 National Indigenous Cannabis Policy Summit, we are confident that your sponsorship commitment will be met with outstanding exposure and will meet your needs for involvement well into 2025. We have included an outline of options that will provide you with a defined list of exposure opportunities for your review, but please do not hesitate to bring us your personal requests as well.

If you have any additional questions, please get in touch with Joni McSpadden at jmcspadden@indigenouscannabis.org or Mary Jane Oatman at mjoatman@indigenouscannabis.org.

Thank you for being so considerate.

Best Regards,

Rob Pero, (Bad River Ojibwe) Mary Jane Oatman (Nez Perce/Delaware)
