Beginning with the 2026 National Tribal Health Conference, NTHC will no longer offer a speaker registration discount. This change aligns NTHC with standard practices across national conferences and reflects the full value of the conference experience. We remain deeply grateful to our workshop speakers for sharing their expertise, stories, and leadership, and we continue to recognize that their contributions are essential to the strength, quality, and impact of NTHC programming.
Stay Tuned for Information on Preconference Sessions
Throughout the day on Monday, there will be several experiential learning opportunities, including Institutes, site visits, and more to consider attending. Capacity may be limited for certain institutes, so please consider registering as soon as possible to ensure you're able to attend your preferred selection.
More information on these events will be available soon.
Awards Banquet Tickets Will Be Available Soon!
Join us for one of the most inspiring evenings of the National Tribal Health Conference as we honor the leaders, healers, advocates, and changemakers who are advancing Tribal health across Indian Country.
The 2027 Heroes in Health Awards Banquet celebrates those whose dedication, vision, and service are improving the lives of Tribal communities today while creating a stronger future for generations to come. Throughout the evening, we will recognize recipients of NIHB's highest national honors, including the Jake WhiteCrow Lifetime Achievement Award, the Next Gen Award, and the inaugural Sovereignty in Action Awards for Advocacy and Community Health. We will also recognize our regional award recipients from across the country.
Continue the Celebration
Following the banquet, join us for the Heroes in Health After Party featuring an exciting local guest DJ, food, drinks, dancing, and an opportunity to connect with Tribal leaders, health professionals, partners, and friends from across Indian Country.
This is more than an awards banquet. It is a celebration of service, leadership, culture, and the people working every day to strengthen the health of Tribal communities.
Need help getting approval to attend NTHC?
We understand securing approval and funding for conferences can be a challenge so we have created a template justification letter to share with your supervisor. This letter briefly describes the conference's purpose and the benefits of attending and allows for additional information regarding how this conference will benefit you and your work.
We encourage you to use the linked document to build a compelling letter so that you may represent your organization or office at the 2027 National Tribal Health Conference.
Interested in hosting an event or meeting at NTHC?
The National Indian Health Board would like to allow partners and supporters to take advantage of the gathering of hundreds of tribal leaders, healthcare professionals, and both Tribal and Federal government representatives and host a small event or meeting during NTHC; typically, these can be a breakfast, luncheon, or evening reception or event.
If your organization is interested, please download our External Meeting Request Form and return it to NIHB. These forms will be reviewed on a rolling basis based on availability of time and meeting spaces.
Thank you to our Sponors!
