Silicon Slopes SUMMIT Turns 11

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.

SUMMIT 2027: Call For Speakers

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.

SUMMIT 2027 Sponsorships

Want to get your business in front of Utah's most influential founders, executives, investors, and innovators? Silicon Slopes SUMMIT 2027, happening March 18–19 at the Salt Palace, offers sponsorship opportunities for companies looking to build meaningful connections and increase their visibility in Utah's thriving business community.

Sponsoring SUMMIT is more than putting your logo on an event. It's an opportunity to connect with industry leaders, showcase your company, and support the entrepreneurs and ideas shaping Utah's future.
