Inspired by the vision of Clint Betts, CEO and founder of Silicon Slopes, preparations for delivering the most extraordinary 10th year of SUMMIT was lead by Tiffany Vail, COO at Silicon Slopes, Krista Parry, Chief Development Officer at Visit Salt Lake, Lindsey Ivie, VP of Partnerships at Silicon Slopes, Melanie Ewing, Director of Partnerships at Silicon Slopes, supporters, partners, sponsors, speakers, media, and dozens of volunteers.

This year’s SUMMIT elevated the conversation about business growth, the evolving investor persona, entrepreneurship in Utah, innovation amid governance, and ways AI impacts—everything.

One of the most important conversations we've ever hosted at Silicon Slopes.

Mark Cuban and Chris Klomp, Director of Medicare in the Trump administration, sat down at SUMMIT to debate the future of healthcare in America. Cuban has been one of the president's most vocal critics. Klomp is helping lead the administration's healthcare agenda. They disagree on a lot.

And yet.

They showed up. They were honest. They challenged each other. And they found common ground in places most people wouldn't expect.

This is what we need more of. Not performative debates designed to go viral. Not two people talking past each other. A real conversation between two serious people who care about solving one of the biggest problems in the country, even when they see the world differently.

This is why SUMMIT exists. This is why community matters. The best ideas don't come from people who agree on everything. They come from people willing to sit across from each other and do the hard work of listening.

Watch the full conversation. It's worth your time.

A Utah State University study found that the revenue generated by women-owned businesses increased by 73.7% to $3.3 trillion from 2019 to 2024. This economic contribution deserves recognition and increased support. 

At SUMMIT 2026, the Women’s Investor Lunch at the beautiful Lake Effect Lounge brought together an influential community of women investors, founders, and operators from Utah and beyond who are actively shaping the future of innovation. 

This intimate, invitation-only gathering connected candid insights from VCs, angels, and LPs with practical strategies for investing and fundraising. 

Between main-stage keynotes from Amit Bendov (CEO, Gong) and Henry Schuck (CEO, ZoomInfo), the Silicon Slopes Founders Circle stepped away from the spotlight and into something more intimate at Lake Effect.

Over an upscale catered lunch, startup and growth-stage founders gathered for candid conversation and practical insights on scaling, go-to-market strategy, AI, and leading through uncertainty.

Slopes Serves is the community service component of the annual Silicon Slopes Summit, a major tech and startup conference held in Utah. At this year’s SUMMIT, this service initiative brought together volunteers — both conference attendees and community members — with the goal of packing 1 million meals for people in need, including individuals and families experiencing food insecurity in Utah.

Nothing beats a room full of sharp operators sharing what’s working and what’s not.

Our recent live discussion at Silicon Slopes brought together Crystal Anderson (VP Ops, MX), Nick Lyon (Co-founder & CPO, Journeyfront), and Matt LeBaron (Founder & CEO, Pocketbook) for a candid conversation on what it actually takes to build and scale.

In this episode of Mental Health Momentum, host Dr. David Morgan, licensed psychologist and Director of Mental Health Awareness at Silicon Slopes, sits down with Heather Nemelka, to talk about mental health, identity, and connection in today’s high-pressure, hyper-digital world.

Heather is the Founder and President of the Elavare Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to helping women re-enter the workforce through training, mentorship, and community, and the CEO of Eleva LLC, where she partners with organizations to strengthen leadership, accelerate career growth, and transform workplace culture.

If you’ve ever felt alone in your stress, questioned why mental health feels harder than physical health, or wondered how to show up more authentically in your work and relationships, this conversation is for you.

Right now, Dinner Club conversations are happening, Feb 18, in Salt Lake City, Park City, Lehi, and Provo.

Four tables where Utah's builders come together to share what's working, what's hard, and what's next. Each city brings its own flavor, but the spirit stays the same: real people, real talk, and the kind of connections that last beyond dessert.

Whether you're in the heart of downtown, up in the mountains, along the Silicon Slopes corridor, or in Utah Valley's startup scene, there's a seat at the table. And if your city isn't listed yet? We're always looking to grow where founders are ready to gather.

We've saved a seat for you on Feb. 18th.

Shape the Future of Silicon Slopes!
