The Indigenous Creators' Conference

The Indigenous Creators’ Conference is a national gathering for Indigenous influencers, content creators, storytellers, media professionals, entrepreneurs, tribal communicators, organizers, artists, and cultural leaders produced by badfaceconsulting.com and sponsored by the Indian Gaming Association.

The conference recognizes the growing role Indigenous influencers play in shaping public conversations, building communities, promoting Native-owned businesses, sharing culture, and challenging harmful narratives. Whether you create content for a large audience or are building your first platform, this gathering is designed to help you grow your reach, strengthen your message, and turn your influence into meaningful impact.

Held in Rapid City during Black Hills Pow Wow week, the conference brings Indigenous voices, ideas, and influence together during one of the largest Native cultural gatherings in North America.

Sessions will explore digital media, storytelling, branding, entrepreneurship, public policy, community leadership, and cultural responsibility. Attendees will hear from experienced creators and leaders, build professional relationships, share strategies, and learn how to protect their work, expand their platforms, and create opportunities for themselves and their communities.

This conference is for Indigenous creators at every stage, from emerging influencers and artists to established professionals, business owners, advocates, and organizational leaders.

Join us for two days of learning, connection, collaboration, and Indigenous-led conversations focused on strengthening our stories, our platforms, and our collective influence.
