Silicon Slopes, the nonprofit group organized to promote the interests of Utah’s technology and innovation industry, has a new home. Gov. Gary Herbert, Val Hale of the Governor’s Office of Economic Development and Domo CEO Josh James joined Silicon Slopes executive director Clint Betts last week to cut the ribbon on a new, 5,000-square-foot office and event space in Lehi.
The new space, donated by STACK Real Estate and located near Thanksgiving Point, will serve as Silicon Slopes’ headquarters and will also be able to accommodate events, classes and networking gatherings.
Silicon Slopes is engaged in numerous activities, including hosting and sponsoring the annual Silicon Slopes Summit, aimed at bringing together the state’s tech community. This year’s summit took place in Salt Lake City over two days and included influential keynote speakers, workshops, a startup competition and entertainment. The event was scheduled to coincide with the Sundance Film Festival in January.
Silicon Slopes was founded over a decade ago by James, previously of Omniture.
