7 March 2014, Las Vegas, USA (Press Release) – GEObet Network CEO Gerry Gionet has launched a new tribal brand with the aim of further strengthening tribal trading in North America and globally.
GEOworldwide LLC is a North American initiative to join Northern and Southern Tribes in a joint effort to raise economic development. Gionet has been a driving force in economic development in the tribal economy, with the GEObet Network helping bring Tribes and First Nations – such as NorthernBearCasino.com – into the iGaming space.
GEOWorldwide LLC was launched at Trading Routes, a conference held last week in Las Vegas which brought together leaders of Tribes and First Nations from the United States and Canada with the aim of rendering North America ‘borderless’. Gionet gave the opening speech at the conference, where guest speakers included Northern Bear Casino CEO Bernard Shepherd.
The Trading Routes conference was attended by tribal chiefs and tribal business leaders, with keynote speaker Chief Clarence Louie, who spoke on successful economic ventures in Indian Country. A number of industries were represented at the conference, with iGaming speakers joined by those from the financial and natural resources sectors.
“It is important to continue to establish our Tribal Trading – we travel today as we did in our history with the US and Canada Border in place, as we travelled and traded for thousands of years,” Gionet explained.
“I would personally like to make mention and thank all my clients, tribal leaders, friends and family for their support : Suncor Energy inc., Syncrude Canada, Lotoski and company, Deloitte Accountants, Peter Karroll of IAM Corp, and the many others that make my business successful to be able to support Tribal business,” he added.
“Those are historical holy trails for survival blessed to succeed in commerce,” said delegate Eric Tootoosis of the Poundmaker First Nation.
The Trading Routes conference was held at the Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas on February 24-25. A number of participants in the conference have already expressed a desire to host the next Trading Routes conference in their own territories. “We expect this conference format to grow as First Nations and Tribes take advantage and exercise their Inherent, Treaty and Constitutional rights to Economic Space in their territories.” said Gionet
