* Attendee registration is open!
Following the powerful conversations and connections from 2025, the Indigenous Wellbeing Conference returns in 2026 with a renewed focus on moving forward together.
This year’s theme, From Healing to Thriving: Building the Next Generation of Wellbeing, reflects a shared commitment to holistic health, physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual and to taking meaningful action that strengthens our people and our Nations for generations to come.
Over the course of three days, Elders, leaders, educators, program managers, and frontline workers will come together to share knowledge, spark inspiration, and develop practical steps that turn wellness into a way of life. This gathering is more than a conference; it is a movement to ensure Indigenous communities not only heal, but thrive.
At the Indigenous Wellbeing Conference 2026, you’ll engage in keynote presentations designed to provide actionable tools for enhancing both personal and professional resilience. This conference offers a rare opportunity for those who dedicate their lives to helping others to receive the support, care, and insight they deserve. You’ll leave with practical strategies that you can apply to your work, whether in mental health, social services, or community leadership, and be equipped to continue your important work with renewed strength and understanding.
