BBNC is now accepting proposals for presentations and breakout sessions at the 2026 Bristol Bay Leadership Forum (BBLF), taking place December 10–11, 2026, in Anchorage, Alaska.

For more than four decades, the Bristol Bay Leadership Forum has brought together leaders from across the region to share knowledge, strengthen relationships, and explore ideas that support healthy, thriving communities.

We honor the generations of leadership that have shaped Bristol Bay since time immemorial and look forward to continuing that legacy together.

Participants from village corporations, village and city councils, boroughs, and community organizations gather to discuss current and emerging priorities for the Bristol Bay region.

We are seeking proposals for sessions that are:

• Solutions-focused
• Community-centered
• Rooted in Bristol Bay values, challenges, and opportunities

Presenters from within and outside the Bristol Bay region are welcome to submit proposals.
Sessions should speak to issues, opportunities, or knowledge important to BBNC shareholders and the broader Bristol Bay community.

Proposals are being accepted for both main stage presentations and breakout sessions.
Sessions should be designed for 30–60 minutes and include time for audience participation or Q&A.

In the event that not all sessions are filled, BBNC will continue to receive proposals past October 2nd, on a rolling basis, until all workshops are filled.

The deadline to submit proposals is October 2, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. AKST.

APPLY HERE!
