Utah Corporate Alliance Event – January
January 9, 2008 – 4:05 pmI just got back from the jumpstart corporate alliance event that was held at the Energy Solutions Arena in Salt Lake City. This was the first official Salt Lake City Corporate Alliance Event, at least I am pretty sure it was. I have been to several of their events in the past in Provo, Utah and have enjoyed them. This one was also fairly good. There were about 200-300 people there, by far more than you could go around and network with all in the same setting – but that is not the purpose.
I think if you are considering joining corporate alliance a lot depends on what your business does and your own personal personality / goals. I work for Twelve Horses which is an internet marketing, web design, search engine optimization, web deveopment, email marketing, yada yada yada company – there are very few businesses out there that do not need a website or are interested in internet marketing to some degree. I also enjoy meeting new people and building relationships on a personal level, if you are just there to try and get some sales it is not the best place for that, plus that turns people off.
I met people from many different companies in Utah including seven peaks, mckonkie law firm, venture capital firms, media agencies, etc. The food was ok, but I have a major stomach ache from it now, feel a little sick actually. However other than that is was worth attending, if you are thinking about corporate alliance feel free to give me a shout and pick my brain on if it would be a wise move or not.
