The discussion will be about the topics to be featured at the Great Lakes Tribal Economic Summit, hosted by Native News Online’s sister publication Tribal Business News on Tuesday, September 19, and Wednesday, September 20, 2023 on the homelands of the Pokagon Potawatomi at the Four Winds Casino in New Buffalo.

Gibbs will present at the Great Lakes Tribal Economic Summit in the "Real Estate Development | A Long View" session. This session delves into how tribes utilize real estate for community economic growth.
According to Edwards, this year’s summit will feature more than 20 speakers sharing news, information and best practices in key areas of non-gaming economic development for tribes.
