The State of Silicon Slopes events are meant to bring the Silicon Slopes community together to go over what we've done as an organization recently and what our plans are for the future.
With the recent unification of Silicon Slopes and Utah Technology Council, we are visiting various Silicon Slopes chapters across the state to talk about the unification and how the combined organization will work going forward. Come enjoy lunch and hear from Silicon Slopes Executive Director Clint Betts and UTC Director of Opertations for UTC.Our next Silicon Slopes Ogden-Farmington event will be held at Pluralsight's East Headquarters in Farmington UT on June 18 at noon. Lunch is free for those who RSVP below.
