Dear Summit Participants, Thank you for being at the forefront of Utah’s growing economy. On behalf of MediaOne of Utah, I would like to welcome you to the seventh annual Governor’s Utah Economic Summit. As we turn this year toward a brighter business future, Utah has led the nation through the recovery. Utah and its business leaders are breaking out into new ventures that will solidify our state’s future in the national and global economy. Every new opportunity requires our attention and investment to thrive. Adversity has only strengthened our resolve as we exit the worst economic recession since the Great Depression. As a state, our strong fiscal principals on sound economic practices continue to position us to be recognized as the “Best State For Business” by Forbes Magazine – a repeat distinction from 2010 and 2011. As the nation is only beginning to stabilize from a wildly volatile economy, with little change in national unemployment rates, Utah’s economy has served as a model of stability for other states to emulate our best practices. Our economy has expanded 2.3% consistently since 2006 and remains a bright spot for entrepreneurs and business stakeholders. Unemployment remains one of the lowest in the nation. Because of our strong workforce, Utah remains relevant to expanding companies. We are becoming the preferred destination for their growth. Utah’s business community and governments emphasize innovation and efficiency to generate growth across our state. We must continue to invest in our workforce and next generation of talent to maintain our strength. Today, the challenge remains for business leaders, to recognize opportunities and strengthen our position as the premier state for doing business. Utah is a state of “best practices” and 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 thoughts from 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. As Utah continues to be the benchmark for economic performance in this country, we have an obligation to remain focused and investing in our future.
Best regards,
Brent Low President & CEO MediaOne of Utah

Governor of State of Utah Gary Richard Herbert is Utah’s 17th Governor. Prior to becoming Governor, he served as Lieutenant Governor under Governor Jon M. Huntsman Jr. for nearly five years, before taking the Oath of Office on Aug. 11, 2009. Governor Herbert was born in American Fork, Utah, and raised in Orem, Utah. After graduating from Orem High School, Mr. Herbert served a two-year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints in the Eastern Atlantic States Mission. While attending BYU, the Governor met and married Jeanette Snelson, from Springville, Utah. Shortly after their marriage, the Governor joined the Utah National Guard and served for six years as a staff sergeant working with target acquisition, artillery and ground survey. After his military service, the Governor began a career in the real estate industry, founding Herbert & Associates Realtors, an Orem-based brokerage firm. He also served as president of the Utah Association of Counties and the Utah Association of Realtors. Governor Herbert and Jeanette founded a child care service, The Kids Connection, which they operated for 23 years. In 1990, he was elected to the Utah County Commission, in which capacity he served for 14 years. Governor Herbert served on 23 committees during this time, two of which were the Provo Orem Chamber of Commerce and Utah Water Conservancy District. The Governor currently sits on the National Governors Association Health and Human Services standing committee, the Healthcare Reform Task Force and the newly created Homeland Security Special Committee. In his inaugural address, Governor Herbert outlined his three main priorities of economic development, public and higher education, and energy development. MORNING KEYNOTE SPEAKER

Improvements in trade finance, the Internet, and trade agreements have dramatically increased access to markets worldwide enabling companies that export to grow faster than non-exporting companies.
PRESENTER: Tim Brown, Richter7 DESCRIPTION: Crisis communication is more than putting out a press release.

In today’s dynamic marketplace companies that maximize the use of their data are the companies that will grow and prosper. How you leverage data to ensure you are providing relevant and efficient experiences to your customers, partners and prospects could be the difference between stellar success and mediocrity.
(WHY THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS CYBERSECURITY)
PRESENTER: Matthew Might, School of Computing, U of U DESCRIPTION: This presentation will explain the technical aspects of cybersecurity in layman’s terms: how and why attackers do what they do.
