Destination Salt Lake City

Registration will reopen at the end of February!

2025 National Conference
June 11-13, Hosted by Utah Symphony | Utah Opera

Reserve your hotel room

Mark your calendar to come together with colleagues for three days of networking, inspiration, and learning in Salt Lake City at the first National Conference hosted by the Utah Symphony | Utah Opera.

Registration will open soon. In the meantime, reserve your hotel room at the recently opened Hyatt Regency, plan your visit to local attractions, and stay tuned for the full schedule of speakers and sessions to be announced at the end of February.

Nestled between the stunning Wasatch Mountains and the Great Salt Lake, the Salt Lake Valley was home to American tribes for thousands of years before pioneers arrived in 1847. As host of the 2002 and upcoming 2034 Winter Olympics, Salt Lake City has gained global attention for its unique blend of natural beauty, vibrant culture, and innovation. There’s so much to explore:

You’ll also have the chance to hear the Utah Symphony led by Music Director Emeritus Thierry Fischer on Thursday, June 12 at Maurice Abravanel Hall, one of the nation’s premiere concert venues. Violinist Clara-Jumi Kang will make her Utah Symphony debut with the Korngold Violin Concerto on a program bookended by Mexican composers past and present. Revueltas’ Noche de encantamiento warns of the dangers of cultural clashes, while Gabriela Ortiz’ Téenek leaves us with the message that a hopeful future lies in recognizing each other’s respective identities and differences—and weaving them together creates something stronger than the sum of the parts.

Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to connect, learn, and be inspired in the heart of Salt Lake City. We can’t wait to see you there!

What are the different learning opportunities at Conference?

  • General Sessions are the three major gatherings at Conference where everyone comes together: opening session, closing luncheon, and, this year, an interactive session on audience development.

  • Constituency Meetings are stimulating meetings with those who best understand the challenges of your position: your peers with similar responsibilities at their orchestra. These meetings are open to delegates from member orchestras and artistic disciplines, with content that is tailored to the constituency group.

  • Insight Sessions are panels and presentations covering major topics for the orchestra field, open to all Conference attendees.

  • Business Perspectives are sponsored presentations during which partners from across the field share their expertise and best practices borne from their unique view of the industry.

  • Critical Conversations are conversation-based sessions and open to all Conference attendees. These begin with a short presentation focused on a particular topic, followed by facilitated discussions where audience members come prepared to share thoughts, ideas, questions, and successes of their own.

  • The Tech Fair is a half-day event (included in your Conference registration) showcasing a variety of technology offerings. See what’s new and learn how peers are incorporating technology solutions into their daily operations.

  • Available for an additional fee, Pre-Conference Seminars give you a unique networking opportunity with a topic expert and a small group of orchestra peers. For 4 hours, you’ll work together to gain practical tools, build relationships, and deepen your professional expertise.
