Ice Cream, Anybody?
Join us at the 2023 Alaska Business Top 49ers Luncheon on September 29, 2023, at the Dena’ina Civic and Convention Center in downtown Anchorage! This premier business event honors and celebrates the top local (established and headquartered in Alaska) businesses recognized for exceptional performance ranked by gross revenue.
Last year, the combined gross revenue of the businesses on the Top 49ers list was $20 billion, more than the Gross Domestic Product of many countries, such as Nicaragua or the entire West Bank and Gaza. Additionally, Top 49ers last year employed nearly 85,000 people worldwide. These are significant figures that help illustrate the importance and power of these businesses.
The Top 49ers include numerous Alaska Native corporations, which are true powerhouses and pillars of our economy. The ranks also include locally established giants in the transportation, construction, mining, and oilfield support industries.
Tables and individual tickets for the Top 49ers Luncheon and Networking Social event are now available through our website. Reserve early, as space is limited and will sell out. The 2023 Top 49ers Luncheon is sponsored by Alaska Airlines, Bering Straits Native Corporation, Marsh McLennan, MTA, NANA, NCB, Northrim Bank, PNC Bank, and RISQ Consulting.
Come and celebrate Alaska’s leading companies, enjoy lunch, network, and get your photos taken with your peers. You might even win a pair of tickets courtesy of Alaska Airlines. And did I mention the ice cream?

Alaska's relationship with oil began in 1902 when The English Company, soon renamed the Alaska Development Company, struck oil at Katalla, 47 miles southeast of Cordova. Katalla became a boom town, and a refinery was built in 1911, mainly supplying fuel to fishing vessels. A total of 154,000 barrels were produced over twenty years until Christmas Day 1933. A fire destroyed the Chilkat Oil Company refinery, and it was not rebuilt. Katalla disappeared from the map ten years later when the post office closed for good.
