Introducing the TribalBond Connections Program at the Indian Gaming Tradeshow & Convention


As the eagerly anticipated Indian Gaming Tradeshow & Convention approaches, scheduled for March 31 to April 3 in San Diego, California, the Indian Gaming Association has unveiled the innovative TribalBond connections program. This initiative is crafted to cultivate significant relationships between tribal casino executives and solution providers within the industry.

The program introduces a ‘speed networking’ approach, meticulously designed to facilitate introductions among key stakeholders in a swift yet valuable manner, all while ensuring a tailored experience. TribalBond aligns with the event’s overarching mission:

  • Uniting professionals from the sector
  • Delving into emerging trends
  • Establishing business connections that could potentially transform their enterprises

By adding this additional networking dimension, TribalBond aims to assist participants in building these vital connections, sharing valuable insights, and discovering new opportunities that extend beyond the immediate event.

In addition to face-to-face meetings with numerous industry and tribal gaming leaders, the event will also feature specific decision-makers, each playing pivotal roles.

Meanwhile, the Indian Gaming Association has entrusted Frances Alvarez with the leadership of the TribalBond connections program.

Alvarez brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the table, being a seasoned veteran in the industry. She holds the position of Chairwoman for the Tribal Gaming Protection Network, serves as President of the National Native American Hall of Fame, and is a Gaming Commissioner for the Wilton Rancheria Gaming Commission.

In reaction to this fresh initiative, Indian Gaming Association Chairman Ernie Stevens, Jr expressed:

‘We are thrilled to introduce TribalBond at the Indian Gaming Tradeshow & Convention. Our objective is to provide Indian Country with an unparalleled experience to forge meaningful connections and bolster their communities. This program is set to be transformative in supporting the innovation that tribal gaming is renowned for. We could not envision a better person than Frances to help us launch this program at the event.’

The emphasis continues to be on the swift engagement inherent in the networking format, which will facilitate numerous interactions. These interactions, however, are structured to be both meaningful and impactful, with five rounds of this speed networking set for April 2 and April 3.

TribalBond program participants can also look forward to exclusive benefits, including:

  • Access to the Indian Gaming Tradeshow & Convention
  • An annual subscription to Indigenous Class
  • More exclusive opportunities

Alvarez has embraced the opportunity to lead this new venture, stating:

‘As a longtime supporter of the Indian Gaming Tradeshow & Convention, I’m thrilled to lead the TribalBond program. My goal is to support the tribal gaming community by linking them with cutting-edge products and insights to enhance their operations and communities. Equally significant, I will equip solution providers with the knowledge and resources required to establish meaningful, enduring partnerships with the Indian Country. I am encouraged by the positive feedback we have already received from the tribal gaming community regarding TribalBond.’
