Great Salt Lake People’s Summit
9:00 AM – 2:00 PM
SLCC-Miller Campus (NB) Sandy, UT 84070, USA
The Great Salt Lake needs our voices—and our action. We know real change takes time, but this crisis is urgent. The lake remains at dangerously low levels, and we must keep up the momentum and call for greater action.
We’re gathering passionate advocates, inspiring speakers, leading experts—and YOU—to organize, strategize, and plan the next steps to restore and protect Great Salt Lake.
Let’s connect, share ideas, and build a sustained movement to ensure a thriving future for the lake and our communities.
Free Zao for Lunch!
