Steve,
Thanks for posting about this event. I think these types of events help invigorate our entrepreneurial economy, which is important right now. This year there are several such events. Today I attended the Utah Governor’s Economic Summit. Very good. On May 12, 2009, there will be the Utah Genius awards. See http://www.utahgenius.com. Would love to see some spotlight on that.
Cheers,
Perry
