Utah Association of Chambers Summer Conference 2024

Registration has closed. If you are interested in attending and haven't registered, contact Melanie Budge at mbudge@slchamber.com

Join us for our annual Utah Association of Chambers Summer Conference in Logan on August 22-23, 2024!
 
This two-day conference will dig in deep with discussions on issues that really matter to chamber executives and board members. During each session, leaders will provide takeaways that you can begin using immediately at your own chamber.
 
The opportunity to network and build relationships with other chamber leadership is unmatched. These connections have resulted in more chamber-to-chamber collaboration, resources for boards and staff, friendships and a united business voice.
 
 
Conference Registration Fee:
Early-Bird Members: $130 (Good through July 15th)
Members:  $150
Non-Members: $175
 
General Information:          

• The conference will be held in Logan and is hosted by the Cache Valley Chamber of Commerce.
