National Summit on Indigenous Mental Wellness Event Management

As a follow up to the 2022 and 2023 National Summits on Indigenous Mental Wellness, Indigenous Services Canada is planning the third Summit on October 16 and 17, 2024. The Summit will be a two day hybrid event in Calgary, Alberta that will include participation by the Minister of Indigenous Services. It is expected that the Summit will welcome up to 350 in-person participants and an estimated 400 to 500 virtual participants.

Given the complexity of a two-day hybrid event, Indigenous Services Canada is requesting the services of an event management company, preferably Indigenous-owned, to support the Department in planning and implementing the 2024 Summit. All anticipated services required of the event management company (the contractor) are outlined in Section 2. Briefly, services required of the contractor include pre-Summit support, on-site support at the Summit venue for three days (October 15-16-17, 2024), and post-Summit work (potentially a Highlights Report).

The objective of this contract is for an event management company, preferably Indigenous-owned, to support the Department in implementing the 2024 National Summit on Indigenous Mental Wellness to be held on October 16-17, 2024, in Calgary, Alberta.
