Tribal Innovation Summit 2026
Cherokee Nation and Center for Civic Futures, in partnership with Tulsa Community Foundation, invite you to join us for the first-ever Tribal Innovation Summit, taking place February 24–26, 2026, in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
This gathering will bring together a curated group of Tribal leaders, community partners, and technologists to explore how artificial intelligence (AI) can advance sovereignty, expand opportunity, and address priorities defined by Tribal Nations. You’ll be part of a collaborative space designed for learning, experimentation, and shared problem-solving.
Attendees will:
Gain curated resources and access to yearlong, hands-on tech support as Tribal leaders navigate AI.
Join a network of Tribal leaders and technologists committed to learning together and sharing practical solutions.
Leave with tools, training, and partnerships to help Tribal leaders test and apply emerging technologies in ways that reflect their community priorities.
And importantly, this is just the beginning. The Summit launches a year of continued collaboration and hands-on support to help turn ideas sparked in Tulsa into lasting action.
This is an invite-only event. If you’d like to recommend an additional attendee, please submit their information using this link to request a place on the waitlist.

We look forward to having you with us — and to shaping an impactful Tribal Innovation Summit together.
