Yesterday, The Salt Palace Convention Center and Mountain America Expo Center, along with our partner Sodexo Live!, wore pink to show our support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Approximately 1 in 8 women in the US are diagnosed with invasive breast cancer each year, and 1 in 43 women will die from this cancer. When caught in it's earliest, the survival rate increases. By raising awareness and promoting education, we empower individuals to make more informed decisions about their health.

2024 is an excellent year for gold medals! I could not be prouder of all the Salt Palace team members for achieving this remarkable award. Thank you, Salt Palace! I also have to express my gratitude to our owner Salt Lake County Mayor Jenny Wilson and our most valuable partner Visit Salt Lake's President & CEO Kaitlin Eskelsen! Thank you both for helping us achieve the Gold Winner Award for Best Convention Center, Southwest 2024!

Congratulations to our very own Director of Finance, Josh Ambrose! We're thrilled to share that Josh was awarded the D365 Implementation Champion at the ASM Global Leadership Summit, recognizing his efforts in navigating the changing of accounting systems. Josh's success comes from creating a thorough planning process, understanding our client's needs, and his commitment to meeting deadlines. We couldn't be prouder of Josh and his team for all they've accomplished and the Salt Palace Convention Center. "Navigating larger complex systems changes is something I am very passionate about. I believe that when systems are properly set in place, they streamline internal operations and ultimately enhance the customer experience. This achievement wouldn't have been possible without my incredible team - everything we do is a team effort." - Josh Ambrose
