We’re inviting Indigenous technologists, creatives, organizers, educators, and employers to bring your voice, skills, and energy to this year’s Natives in Tech Conference. Whether you’re building code, sharing songs, teaching hands-on skills, or opening doors to career pathways, this space is for you.

What to Propose

• Talks & Panels: Share your work, ideas, research, or lived experience
• Skillshares: Teach a hands-on session in something you know well (tech, language, digital tools, etc.)
• Cultural & Music Presentations: Performances, teachings, or showcases rooted in Indigenous traditions and futurism
• Job Opportunities: Recruiters and employers are invited to present opportunities for Indigenous talent (must be aligned with our mission)
• Lightning Talks: Short (5–10 min) shares on any topic relevant to tech, sovereignty, or Indigenous knowledge

If your work connects Native life and technology in any form... you belong here.

Thematic tracks:

• Tech sovereignty & infrastructure
• Music & Culture
• Open source, land-based tech, and language tools
• Pathways for Native youth: skilled trades, coding, STEM
• Climate resilience, storytelling, and data
• Indigenous-led design, organizing, and creative work
• Intergenerational knowledge-sharing through tech

Support for Presenters

We offer support, optional slide coaching, and session support. No one is expected to be “polished”, just real. If you have questions, please contact natalie@nativesintech.org
