The Summit is NPM’s flagship event and the largest gathering of Tribal and Indigenous broadcasters and media professionals serving Indian Country.  The theme “Celebrating over 50 Years of Broadcasting in Indian Country” acknowledges that Native broadcast stations play an essential role in promoting the safety, sovereignty, and stability of Native communities, providing a platform for media creation, community news, civic engagement, and emergency services for predominately rural and remote tribal lands.

​

The Summit features learning sessions and networking opportunities that:

• Support station's compliance and regulatory requirements.

• Strengthen the station operations in Indian Country.

• Enhance media and technological literacy to promote and empower original Native-centered programming and content.

• Grow the resiliency of broadcasting stations through proactive community engagement strategies.

• Strengthen connections and learn about new broadcast trends or opportunities.
