Oneida Indian Nation to Host an Economic Development and Vendor Conference for Regional Businesses on September 14
The Oneida Indian Nation will host a half-day conference about how local businesses can partner with the Nation and its enterprises. The Doing Business with the Oneida Indian Nation conference will provide valuable insight on how to work with the Oneida Nation on new business development, including developing and expanding businesses on Oneida Indian Nation land, how to become a vendor, engage in sponsorship relationships and partner on strategic alliances. The program will include Oneida Indian Nation Representative and Nation Enterprises CEO Ray Halbritter providing an overview of Nation Enterprises and outlining plans for future investments.
The conference comes amid the 25th anniversary of the historic gaming compact and the opening of Turning Stone Resort Casino, which has become the region’s premier tourist destination and economic engine.

The Oneida Indian Nation continues to expand its gaming, retail, entertainment, food-related and convenience store businesses – which presents new business development, vendor and sponsorship opportunities.
