Only the Best for AFSA Meetings

Blog Posts

AFSA has been fortunate to host its conferences in outstanding destinations across the country. And the 2023 Annual Meeting will be no different. In fact, you might say we’re taking this meeting to entirely new heights. Not just because of the elevation in and around Salt Lake City, but because Utah was just rated the Best State by U.S. News and World Report.

As with any beauty contest, Utah topped out in three categories, and rated in the top 20 in seven of eight categories, including health care, education, economy, and fiscal stability. And AFSA member companies and business partners contribute a great deal to the state’s success: Our members and business partners employ more than 40,000 Utahns and generate an estimated $17 billion in economic output for the state.

And where better to celebrate a “Best of …” than in Salt Lake City, home to the best access to national and state parks to experience the great outdoors, matched with some of the best nightlife, thanks to nationally rated micro-breweries and distilleries.

We can’t wait to get to SLC for the Annual Meeting and we can’t wait to see you there. Don’t wait – register for the conference today for all the content and networking you’ve become used to at an AFSA meeting and then Stay and Play with us in Salt Lake City and Park City!
