35th Annual Indian Progress in Business Awards Event
Embracing the Future, Honoring the Past

October 21, 2010
Hard Rock Hotel & Casino
Albuquerque, NM

The Indian Progress in Business Awards Event (INPRO) is presented by the National Center for American Indian Enterprise Development. It is a multi-faceted event which includes an American Indian Business Opportunity Fair (AIBOF) and the INPRO Awards Banquet.

The INPRO 2010 Awards Banquet is the oldest and most prestigious Native American recognition event acknowledging accomplishments and contributions made by American Indians and those who support their economic and business development endeavors. One of the highlights of the awards banquet is the presentation of scholarship awards presented to top American Indian undergraduate or graduate students majoring in business who have demonstrated a commitment to giving back to the American Indian community.

The American Indian Business Opportunity Fair is a venue where Indian Businesses, Corporations, Tribal Enterprises, and Government Agencies have an opportunity to network and have face to face meetings.  This is an expo only, no learning session.  We have a limited amount of exhibit tables so register early to secure your spot.

Exhibit tables are $99 for American Indian businesses; $149 all others.  Walk through Admission is $25.
These rates do not include admission to the reception or banquet.
