Utah 2017 Crowdfunding Summit

Description

In only its third year, the Summit has become one of the country’s largest and most respected crowdfunding events. This should be of interest to a number of your members. I would like to ask if you could provide this information to those members you think could benefit from this event. Presented by Daplie and organized by the Utah SBDC and Miller Business Resource Center, the event will feature: • The country's top Kickstarter/Indiegogo digital marketing firm, who has helped over 200 clients raise more than $111, 000,000 on Kickstart and Indiegogo. • The world's first company to simultaneously and successfully run Rewards-based and Regulations crowdfunding campaigns, netting over $1.2 million between the two campaigns (and still counting...). • And much, much more! This will be the best chance for Utah's entrepreneurs, business owners, engineers, inventors, investors, students, and service providers, to have serendipitous collisions, to learn and network with liked-minded people and get ready to crowdfund their products and innovations. This opportunity only comes around to Utah once a year, so act now to secure your seat! We have secured a special discount for members and friends of your chamber.

Panel discussions and speakers include Zach Smith and Thomas Alvord, founders of the country's top crowdfunding marketing firm, who have helped over 200 clients raise more than $117 million on Kickstarter and Indiegogo in just the last three years. Also featured is Bryson Hill, CEO of the world’s first company to simultaneously and successfully run Rewards-based and Regulation crowdfunding campaigns, netting over $1.3 million between the two. Visiting Salt Lake from Atlanta, and featured as the lunch keynote, Rodney Sampson of Tech Square Labs and Opportunity Hub, will share his insights on leveraging crowdfunding for underserved and underrepresented communities.
