The 2022 Canyonlands Business Summit took place in February at the Hoodoo Hotel and the Moab Arts and Recreation Center, in Moab. The Summit is an annual event that welcomes the business and nonprofit communities from Grand and San Juan counties, as well as stakeholders from throughout the state of Utah. This year's program provided businesses, organization leaders, and entrepreneurs with information about the changing business environment in our region, including resources available to all; an update on the Arches National Park Timed Entry pilot; and Grand County Economic Development's upcoming community programs. Other panels focused on housing, workforce retention strategies, and the wealth of diversity represented in the region's tourism and outfitter industries. Workshops facilitated by San Juan County's Small Business Development Center were aimed at helping individuals bolster their networking skills and begin a business plan. Live music at lunchtime was provided by local bluegrass group Quicksand Soup.

The summit was organized by Grand County Economic Development and San Juan County Economic Development & Visitor Services, in partnership with the Small Business Development Center. More than 150 attendees from the business, non-profit, and public sectors were in attendance, including representatives from the offices of Utah Senators Mike Lee and Mitt Romney.
