AN EXPLAINER
What is Silicon Slopes?
Today, Silicon Slopes published the above video explaining what Silicon Slopes is and what our organization will focus on in the future.
Silicon Slopes is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization governed by Utah entrepreneurs and community leaders.
Silicon Slopes exists to empower entrepreneurs to build and innovate. Our mission is to ensure Utah remains the best place in the world to start, grow, and scale a company.
No one owns, controls, or profits from the Silicon Slopes organization. It is led by those on the ground daily, building, creating opportunities, and taking risks.
We have something special here in Utah. No other state has an organization quite like Silicon Slopes led by entrepreneurs (a requirement for any sustainable startup and tech community) who put the health and interests of those they serve above everything else.
We can now say — with quite a bit of confidence — that Utah is the entrepreneur capital of the world.
FEATURED EVENT
January 13th - 17th, 2025
NOW FREE FOR ALL UTAHNS!
Silicon Slopes Summit is Utah’s original and longest-running grassroots startup and tech event. It provides entrepreneurs, startups, and leaders the resources and community they need to succeed.
With the pandemic behind us, we’re excited to bring Silicon Slopes Summit back to its original January dates in conjunction with the Sundance Film Festival.
That said, before we go any further, we have some incredible news: Silicon Slopes Summit is free for all Utahns for the first time ever!
For those looking for an upgraded experience, we offer VIP tickets for just $95. That’s hundreds of dollars less than a standard ticket in years past.
Thanks to our partners, sponsors, and government leaders, Silicon Slopes Summit is the most accessible tech and startup event in the world.
Summit will be hosted in multiple locations throughout the week in both Utah and Salt Lake Valley.
There will also be a Startup Alley at Summit this year where startups and entrepreneurs can meet with investors from around the world to pitch their ideas, receive feedback, and promote what they’re building.
Of course, we’ll be bringing in world-class leaders and speakers, as we have in the past, but we’ll also be hosting specific tracks and bringing attendees together for curated networking in a way never done before.
You don’t want to miss this year’s summit!
