About us
The Intermountain Sustainability Summit is Utah’s largest sustainability conference and has been held in Ogden, Utah, since 2010. In recent years, the Summit has attracted between 400 to 600 sustainability professionals and emerging leaders from business, government, nonprofit and academic sectors. The Summit is hosted by Weber State’s Sustainability Practices and Research Center with influence from community partners, business, students and engaged citizens. It was started by a Weber State student as a recycling event in 2009, and formalized (in collaboration with the Utah Recycling Alliance) as the Intermountain Sustainability Summit the following year. Summit speakers have deepened participant understanding of renewable energy, green buildings, electrification, transportation, climate change, social justice, new economic models and more. Keynotes in recent years have included luminaries such as Mary Robinson, Paul Hawken, Hunter Lovins, and Naomi Oreskes. The Summit’s main day of events includes keynotes, local and national speakers, the Student Poster Contest, interactive sessions and more. Attendees can also attend longer format workshops for deep dives into specific areas of knowledge in pre and/or post event workshop sessions. The Summit offers a rich opportunity for people from a variety of sectors to learn, share ideas, and make connections. The Summit provides a time where people come together. Unique collaborations, projects, and even business plans, have taken root at the Summit. Those who attend the Summit walk away with an expanded network, as well as an improved capacity to care for our environment, improve living conditions and human health.

Announcing Keynote Speaker — Jeff Speck! Jeff Speck, city planner and author of Walkable City, will take us on a journey through ways municipalities can improve the walkability of city streets. Speck is an internationally known advocate for walkable cities. As Director of Design at the National Endowment for the Arts (2003 – 2007), he presided over the Mayors' Institute on City Design and created the Governors' Institute on Community Design. He has been named a fellow of both the American Institute of Certified Planners and the Congress for New Urbanism. Speck is one of the most listened-to city planners in the world. His TED talks and YouTube videos have been viewed over six million times. Speck’s 2012 book, Walkable City, was the best-selling city-planning title of the past decade and has been translated into seven languages. The 10th Anniversary edition includes eight new chapters and will be available for signing following Speck’s keynote at the ISS. The Wall Street Journal called Speck’s book, Suburban Nation (co-authored with Andres Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk), "the urbanist's bible.” This event is for anyone who works, plans, or lives in cities!
