The 82nd Annual Conference & Trade Show Highlights

• Salt Lake City, Utah

"Salt Lake is simply not the staid capital city you might remember from years back. It's become far more than the religious command post for the 11 million members of the Mormon Church. Come for the Olympic Afterglow. Experience a born again Salt Lake." - Denver Post

"Downtown is abuzz with swanky eateries and brew pubs and the architecture mixes classic elements with playful designs along the ultra-clean extra-wide streets." - Golf Magazine

"Finding a place to enjoy a cocktail is just a part of Salt Lake's downtown charm. The city's nightlife offers any number of choices, from exceptional dining to live rock music to the symphony to professional basketball. In other words, there's always something to do at the end of the day." - San Jose Mercury News
