The Summit will feature a State of the Wasatch Back, informational presentations, breakout sessions, updates from elected officials and industry leaders, and networking opportunities. Keynote Speaker Mallory Bateman, M.Sc., is the Director of Demographic Research and State Data Center Coordinator, Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute, at the University of Utah. Bateman will discuss the “State of the Wasatch Back.” Breakout discussions will cover multiple topics related to employee and business challenges and community infrastructure challenges, like “A Regional Approach to Housing” and “Legislative Update.”

“Regional conversation is not just helpful, it is essential,” President and CEO of Park City Chamber & Visitors Bureau Jennifer Wesselhoff said. “The Wasatch Back Economic Summit focuses on key issues, from transportation and housing to growth and legislative priorities.
