TribalHub announces 2024 TribalNet Advisory Board Members

(PRESS RELEASE) -- TribalNet, as the longest standing division of TribalHub, has been, and continues to be, the industry platform to connect tribal technology decision makers and executives/department heads working in tribal gaming/hospitality, government, and health with each other and technology products and solutions. The largest gathering of this year-round community happens each year during the annual TribalNet Conference and Tradeshow. This year marks a milestone celebration of 25 years in the industry. The event is being held at the Westgate Las Vegas, 16-19 September 2024.

TribalNet’s Advisory Boards provide input and direction to develop the agenda and speaker line up for the annual TribalNet conference. The advisory boards are a great representation of those in the audience each year at TribalNet. It’s their effort that gives us the opportunity to host an event that boasts such diverse and valuable sessions for technology-minded individuals at tribes and enterprises nationwide.

“Each year that we’ve been able to host the TribalNet Conference & Tradeshow has been an opportunity to bring together an entire industry and provide a platform for connecting, learning, problem solving, mentoring, growth and so much more,” Shannon Bouschor, Director of Operations for TribalHub states. “Celebrating 25 years for TribalNet this year, means celebrating 25 years of the evolution of technology at tribes and tribal enterprises and more importantly it means celebrating those who have been a part of that journey and the impact that they have made on their tribes and enterprises from maybe even just 1 year all the way to 25. Our advisory boards are a huge part of that. We are so excited to welcome old friends and new at this year’s event, which will surely be one to remember.”
