One Week Until Dinner Club: August 20

The first "What Future Do Utahns Want?" Dinner Club is one week away. August 20. Four cities: Salt Lake City, Park City, Lehi, and St. George.

If you're new to this, Dinner Club is a recurring dinner where Utahns meet people they don't know and discuss a pressing state issue. No panel. No keynote. Just a table.

SLC and Lehi are almost full. Register now to secure a seat.

Park City and St. George need more people. If you live near either, come. Bring someone. These dinners only work if enough people show up. If they don't, we'll skip those cities this round and try again.

And if you want Dinner Club in your city, show us the people will come. That's the whole test.

Reserve your seat now, and we’ll see you at dinner!

Savvos Health Introduces a New Era for Health Plans

The benefits equation just changed. Employees want better benefits. Finance wants predictable costs. HR wants to deliver both without losing the argument in the boardroom.

For a long time, those three things couldn't coexist. A new category of benefits technology is changing that.

By funding care in real time and locking in transparent pricing, employers can now offer broader access, zero deductible friction, and no network restrictions — while giving Finance the cost certainty they've always demanded. It's not a tradeoff anymore.

At this exclusive session on Tuesday, Sept. 2, you'll hear how one Utah employer redesigned their benefits strategy to deliver what employees actually want, stabilized their costs in the process, and changed the dynamic between HR and Finance for good.

What you'll walk away with:

  • A real-world case study from a Utah employer who made it work

  • A clear picture of how this technology shifts the Finance-HR conversation

  • A 60-day roadmap to implement before open enrollment

50 seats. Peer leaders only. Come ready to rethink what's possible.

Secure your spot before it's gone.

A Historic Partnership, Built for Utahns by Utahns

Select Health and University of Utah Health Plans compete in nearly every space in this state — except this one.

Silicon Slopes convened two of Utah's most trusted nonprofit healthcare carriers to brainstorm better benefits for our growing business community. What resulted was a historic partnership that nobody could have predicted.

Cut to: Silicon Slopes Health Plans, 22 level-funded plan designs offered equally by both carriers to give Utah's business leaders a meaningful health insurance solution that can grow alongside their teams.

These benefits are built to scale. Ask your local broker today about your options, or contact [email protected] if you need to be connected to a broker.
