Growing tech hub of Salt Lake City hosting SSTI annual conference

SSTI is excited to announce Salt Lake City as the site for the 2018 Annual Conference, which will be held Dec. 3 through 5, with the Utah Science Technology and Research Initiative (USTAR) as the host partner.

“We are excited to bring the conference to Salt Lake City, and we think attendees will have a lot to learn from the growing technology hub,” said Dan Berglund, president and CEO of SSTI. “Many places are struggling with ways to grow their innovation economies and Salt Lake City has been able to turn those struggles into positive growth that people will be able to learn from during the conference.”

USTAR has been a vital link in building the innovation ecosystem within the state of Utah. The Salt Lake City region has seen the growth of at least five unicorns, companies that are valued at more than $1 billion. Conference attendees will learn the story of how that success was achieved and USTAR’s role in helping build Utah’s innovation economy.

“USTAR is delighted to be hosting the SSTI conference in Salt Lake City,” said Ivy Estabrooke, USTAR executive director.  “As members, we have enjoyed participating in previous conferences and are excited for the opportunity to welcome attendees to Utah and showcase many of our programs.”
