Hello
UEES Attendee,
Due to high COVID-19
case counts and ICU hospitalization in the state, we need to adjust our
2020 Summit plans to an all-virtual event. Please follow the instructions on your ticket to receive your livestream link.
We will live broadcast from The Grand America Hotel ballroom with a
limited staff to ensure the Summit proceeds as planned.
Only speakers will participate in-person.
A statement from Gov. Herbert is below.
Thank you for your understanding.
~The Summit Organizing Committee
The high prevalence of COVID-19 in Utah should concern us all. Utah is at
a turning point this week, and our hospitals are on the verge of being
unable to meet the ever-increasing demand for critical care.
In an abundance of caution, we have decided to make the Utah Economic
& Energy Summit virtual-only. Despite the many steps we had taken to
make it a safe event for attendees, we simply cannot be too careful in
the coming weeks.
Slowing the spread of COVID-19 requires each of us to make sacrifices we
would rather not make. But I am confident that this year’s Economic &
Energy Summit will be a fantastic event, even in an all-digital format.
Twenty-one of Utah’s counties have a mask requirement in place. I express
my thanks to all Utahns who exercise precautions to prevent the spread of
coronavirus and urge us all to do a little more. Wear a mask whenever you
are around anyone outside of your immediate household. Continue to
practice social distancing, and stay home when you're sick or know you've
been exposed to COVID-19. There is too much at stake to give in to
exhaustion or apathy. We can stem the tide of coronavirus cases, but only
if we work together.
