Utah is entering a once-in-a-generation moment. Silicon Slopes continues to attract global talent and capital, but the next chapter requires we develop physical spaces (and quite honestly, cities) that match the opportunity.
Join us as we sit down with Christian Gardner (CEO, Gardner Group), Chad Staheli (CEO & Managing Partner, Philo Ventures), for an inside look at how large-scale development, early-stage capital, and grassroots networks are converging in Utah.
Gardner Group has developed more than 30M sq ft across Silicon Slopes, including the Pelion HQ at Baltic Pointe, the Pluralsight headquarters, and Adobe’s Lehi campus—projects that anchor the region’s tech ecosystem.
Philo Ventures is shaping whole municipalities, from the 1,400-unit Willow project near Kanab to a 4,500-acre Wasatch County community planned ahead of the 2034 Olympics.
This session will explore sustainable growth, housing, community design, and how Utah’s built environment and tech sector reinforce each other. If you care about where Utah is heading, this conversation will give you a clear look at the future taking shape.
