Can You Handle The Glamour?

The Thursday night Opening Social is going all Old Hollywood on us. Because Salt Lake City during January is all about film. New remakes and old classics. Bring your fancy shoes and join us at the Grand America Hotel. See vintage movie clips and snack on your favorite movie goodies. (Milk Duds anyone?)

Best part: the fabulous Dana Parish will join us for the evening to provide live music as glamorous as the rest of the party.

Solitude Ski Passes

 Did you know that every Alt Summit attendee will receive a FREE full-day ski pass to Solitude Mountain Resort? That's a pretty fantastic freebie. Especially if you ski or snowboard. Or snowshoe. Or enjoy sitting be a fire in a rustic lodge. While you sip hot cocoa. Because it turns out there is something for everyone at Solitude's beautiful alpine village. Check your Alt Summit Welcome Bag for your Solitude Coupon and instructions on how to claim your free ski pass.

Need a ride to the mountain? Ski enthusiasts will meet in the Grand America Hotel Lobby early on Saturday morning. Plan to grab a ride with a transportation-ready ski buddy or pick a spot in Solitude's Ski Shuttle.

Not a ski bum? Go ahead and sleep in on Saturday, then hang out with us at the After Summit. The After Summit is all about casual networking and discussion (and continental breakfast) with fellow attendees, before you head home. This will be very unstructured, so feel free to drop by for a few minutes or stay the whole morning.

A very laidback end to a very cool weekend.

Speed Networking

On Thursday evening, from 6:30pm to 8:00pm, you're invited to meet one-on-one with potential sponsors at the Alt Summit Speed Networking event. We really want you to make valuable connections at Alt — so we scheduled this event right up front. Once the introductions have been made, you'll have all weekend to continue the conversations.
 
The glam Hollywood Opening Social (food, live music, vintage movies, cigarette girls) happens immediately following Speed Networking. Feel free to attend the networking event in your party clothes. Or not. Whatever works for you.

Note: if you're coming to Alt Summit representing a business, and you want to connect with bloggers and publishers at Speed Networking, we'd love to have you. Just send an email to sara@altitudesummit.com and we'll let you know how to get involved. 

Blurb Happy Hour.

 On Friday evening — after the conference Closing Remarks and before you head to the After Parties — Blurb is generously hosting a Happy Hour Meetup in the Venezia room at the Grand America.

 

Food. Drinks. Your new best friends. Plus lots of real-live-super-cool-books that have been made with Blurb. This might be the last chance you get to chat it up face-to-face with your social media idols. You won't want to miss it.



Welcome Desk

 Check in at the Welcome Desk on Thursday or Friday (see hours below). While there, you'll pick up your summit badge and a fantastic welcome bag filled with nothing but pure happy.

To help you plan out the details of your weekend, we'll have 1) printed schedules on hand with everything you need to know about Alt Summit, 2) sign-ups for speed-networking so you can be sure to meet the sponsors of your dreams, and 3) an Alt Summit Concierge to help you plan out your Friday Night After-Party schedule. (More on that fabulous-ness in a future note.)

 

The Welcome Desk is open:

Thursday, 12:00 noon to 6:00 pm

Friday, 7:00 am to 12:00 noon

Imperial Ballroom, Grand America Hotel
