Since 2015, Silicon Slopes SUMMIT has witnessed Utah's tech industry through boom years, lean years, emerging technologies, and a few surprises nobody saw coming. The technology keeps changing. The reason we gather hasn't.

SUMMIT is Utah's tech community reunion. It's where industry leaders, entrepreneurs, innovators, and old friends come together to exchange ideas, make connections, and celebrate what we're building together. Sometimes the most valuable conversations happen in the hallways, not on the main stage.

And SUMMIT 2027 promises to be one for the books.

Join us March 18–19 at the Salt Palace for extraordinary speakers, fresh perspectives, the first-ever Silicon Slopes Chess Open, and plenty of opportunities to reconnect with the people who make this community special.

Want to be part of it? Submit a speaker proposal, explore sponsorship opportunities, or sign up for the Chess Open.

Eleven years in, the best part of SUMMIT is still the people who show up.

Silicon Slopes SUMMIT 2027, happening March 18–19 at the Salt Palace, is officially accepting speaker applications. This year's event introduces eight Basecamps covering AI, quantum computing, cybersecurity, health and wellness, go-to-market, energy, consumer brands, and leadership.

Organizers want real-world experience, not sales pitches. Whether you've built a company, launched a product, navigated a crisis, or learned something the hard way, SUMMIT wants to hear your story.

Speaker applications close November 1, 2026, with selected speakers notified by November 15.

Join the Silicon Slopes AI Chapter on November 3 for a Lunch & Learn featuring Arnaud Daurat, founder of Exxovantage and Astelia Robotics, for a fascinating look at the future of robotics, wearable AI, and human-machine collaboration.

Think robotic exoskeletons that prevent workplace injuries, humanoid robots that handle dangerous jobs, and intelligent machines that help humans accomplish more.

Hosted by Heather Nemelka, the conversation will explore whether robots will replace workers or make them more capable, how AI could transform workplace safety, and why Utah has an opportunity to lead in embodied AI. Daurat will even bring a small humanoid robot for a live demonstration!

From protecting workers on Earth to preparing humans for life on the Moon, Daurat is asking a bigger question: What if AI's greatest achievement isn't making more money, but preventing human suffering?
