Wiring the Rez:  Innovative Strategies for Business Development via E-Commerce
The Fourth Annual Tribal Government E-Commerce Conference presented by the Indian Legal Program at ASU LAW

Thursday February 1- Friday 2, 2018  8 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Gila River Wild Horse Pass Hotel & Casino, Chandler, AZ

E-Commerce opportunities have created thriving economies on a few reservations, but they have also led to a complicated web of legal issues where state, tribal, and federal laws, policies, and interests can collide. Current tribal efforts to successfully operate ongoing endeavors, and to launch new ones, raise complicated economic and legal issues.

The goal of this conference is to explore the issues surrounding the development of Tribal Digital Sovereignty and E-Commerce in Indian Country including: jurisdictional complexities and the necessity of fostering open dialogue with federal and state counterparts, the changing political landscape, the possible implications to tribal sovereignty, and the ongoing need for tribes to finance and build infrastructures that facilitate economic growth on their reservations while complying with appropriate federal and state guidelines. Attorneys, financiers, scholars, iGaming, tax and cyberspace experts, and tribal entrepreneurs will share strategies and practical implementations of diverse business models of current and for future e‑commerce/infrastructure enterprises.

Conference Keynote and Featured Speakers:

• Neal K. Kaytal, litigator, Partner with Hogan Lovells and Paul and Patricia Saunders Professor of National Security Law Georgetown Law (tentative)
• Winona LaDuke, activist and Executive Director of Honor The Earth
• Chris James, President and CEO of National Center for American Indian Enterprise Development.
