Conference Program

Dear Colleagues, Greetings!

On behalf of MediaOne of Utah, I would like to welcome you to the fifth annual Governor’s Utah Economic Summit. This year, Utah and the world are beginning to break out of the worst financial crisis of several generations to emerge into a new era of business. As new reports of solidifying financial foundations roll in daily, Utah and its business partners are poised to become leaders in the new 21st century economy.

Making that move to the global financial forefront will no doubt bring challenges — and opportunities.

Amidst a profound recession, Utah held its own as a leader in economic cooperation and was recognized as a paragon for growth and opportunity. As a state, our deep fiscal grip on sound economic practices led us to be recognized by Forbes Magazine in 2010 as the “Best State for Businesses and Careers.” Our local economy, while not without its own troubles, led the country in job creation and economic health and Utah was named the “best managed state” in America by the Pew Center for Research a few short years ago.

Such facts are a testament to Utah’s business community and governments, which emphasize innovation and efficiency to generate growth from such forward-thinking ideals. It is our strength and foresight that has seen us through lean times and will strengthen our position in coming years.

The challenge now is to broaden the scope of our economic leadership into the future. By recognizing emerging markets, talent and digital frontiers, we as business leaders are obliged to protect and maintain momentum as we emerge from recession. That’s the essence of this year’s summit. Highlighted by Gov. Gary Herbert’s address, the summit will provide a powerful forum for you to network with colleagues, glean the expertise of industry experts and find new ways to position your organization to expand into the future.

We hope you will take full advantage of the opportunities afforded by the summit, including attending discussions, presentations and panels that will help you improve every facet of your business. These are a few of the important tools that any business leader needs in an increasingly complex economic climate.

For the past few years, Utah has been the benchmark for economic performance in this country. I believe we will remain the standard-bearer as each of us continues to make great strides toward the future.

Best regards,

Brent Low President & CEO MediaOne of Utah
