Alaska Native Village Corporation Association Welcomes ANCs and Alaska's Business Owners to Annual Business Conference

ANCHORAGE, Ala,, April 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Alaska Native Village Corporation Association (ANVCA) will host its fourth annual business conference this May, with conference highlights including business matchmaking sessions and presentations on a variety of key development issues ranging from investment forecasts to recruitment advice to advisories on selecting broadband providers for rural communities.

"This year's event is focused on connecting ANCs and Alaska's businesses to the resources they need to leverage recent federal infrastructure funding. This is an unprecedented opportunity for Alaska's business community to collaboratively design the types of high-quality projects that our state desperately needs to improve or expand upon our existing infrastructure. For too many rural communities, there simply isn't any kind of meaningful or equitable access to even the most fundamental infrastructure—like power grids, broadband, or water and sewage systems," said Hallie Bissett, ANVCA's CEO and President. "While big infrastructure is this year's core focus, we realize that every economy is as reliant upon its small businesses as its big firms. We need new ideas and diverse viewpoints. Our event's matchmaking sessions are designed to facilitate that—to introduce new ideas to established project executors, or to unite complementary industries in new and exciting projects."

This year's business conference will be held at the Hotel Captain Cook on May 10^th-11^th, with daily event programs running from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. Doors open for registration at 8:00 am. Registration is open to members of the public. Members of the press are invited to attend for no admission fee.
