Ascend: Recruit Retain and Grow Indigenous Talent

Ascend 2027: Recruiting, Retaining and Growing Indigenous Talent

Presented by the Founders of Rezolution Summit

Ascend is a premier two-day conference that brings together HR leaders, talent acquisition professionals, DEI and reconciliation leads, and Indigenous economic development leaders for focused learning, connection, and action.

Held on January 20th & 21st, 2027 at the Ottawa Marriott Hotel, with a Welcome Reception on January 19th, Ascend's content is organized around three core themes:

🌱 Recruitment — attracting and hiring Indigenous talent
🤝 Retention — keeping and supporting that talent long-term
📈 Growth — advancing careers and building pathways to leadership

Attendees can also leave Ascend with an Indigenous Recruitment and Retention Certificate, shareable directly to LinkedIn — a credential that carries forward long after the event ends.

Indigenous-owned and led, Ascend is a real partnership in action: a space for organizations to move beyond good intentions and build genuine capacity for Indigenous economic reconciliation.
