On July 22, 2015, the Global Cities Initiative, a joint-project of the Brookings Institution and JPMorgan Chase will convene a public forum for metropolitan Salt Lake leaders focused on the region’s powerful potential for global trade and investment. Global Cities Salt Lake: Building and Sustaining a Competitive Region will be held at the University of Utah.

Building off its standing as a hub for advanced industries and innovation, Salt Lake is uniquely positioned to transition from a traditional model of consumption oriented-growth to one that engages global demand, talent, and capital. For a full schedule and press release please visit here.
