Great Lakes Tribal Economic Summit at Four Winds New Buffalo

Silver Creek Event Center is a customizable space for any event. Romantic wedding? All set. Tradeshow with all the bells and whistles? You got it. The Great Lakes Tribal Economic Summit returned to Four Winds New Buffalo to host their 3^rd annual summit. This two-day event allowed for over 200 tribal leaders, council members, tribal government officials, and executives from tribal enterprises in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota to learn about current economic development projects and business strategies of federally recognized tribes in the Great Lakes states. Plus, experts shared information and analysis of federal and state policy, access to capital funding opportunities, and legal issues that affect tribal economic sovereignty.

The 2024 event transformed Silver Creek into a multifaceted space allowing for panel presentations, a more relaxed “fireside” Q&A, dining reception, and cocktail hour.

The Four Winds team members enjoy working with large corporations and vendor events incorporating diverse set ups and technological needs. “The Four Winds AV Team has an amazing crew that walked us through our set up, made in the moment adjustments, and anticipated needs. They were responsive to questions and made recommendations that would enhance our audience’s experience.”

The Great Lakes Tribal Economic Summit coordinator also said, “It goes without saying that Ron and Frances are amazing partners to have while planning an event at Four Winds Casino. There are so many elements involved when planning an event, but they offered guidance along the way, whether through answering questions promptly via email or jumping on a video chat to confirm details, that made the whole process run smoothly. I appreciate their ability to offer recommendations and ideas as well as respond to in the moment requests that helped improve our guests’ experience.”

Once all the details are checked and double checked, the Four Winds team hopes you enjoy your event and lets our team take care of the execution. Striving to have the best in all areas, transitions, space, cuisine, and staff, our team hopes you can focus on creating memories. “For me, it’s the overall event and how it brought together many people and resources within the Indigenous economic space to share and discuss important information and ideas to help the economy in Indian Country thrive. The Four Winds team truly helped us deliver an experience to our guests that allowed them to focus on networking and sharing ideas and resource information.”
