September 27, 2026 - 04:34

Utah Tech University is preparing to host Boost, a conference focused on entrepreneurship and practical business advice. The event is organized by the university's Atwood Innovation Plaza along with the Nucleus Institute. It brings together some of the most influential business founders and leaders from Southern Utah.

The conference is designed for people who want to start a company, grow an existing one, or learn from those who have already built something from the ground up. Speakers will cover topics such as finding a market, handling early setbacks, raising money, and building a team that can survive pressure. Organizers say the goal is to give attendees real tools, not just motivational talks.

Boost also offers a chance for networking. Local founders, students, and investors will be in the same rooms, which can lead to mentorships, partnerships, and new opportunities. The university hopes the event strengthens the region's startup community and shows that big ideas do not require a big city.

Sessions will include panels, question and answer periods, and smaller group discussions. Attendees can ask direct questions about challenges they face in their own businesses. The conference is open to students, working professionals, and anyone curious about entrepreneurship. Organizers expect a strong turnout from across the region.
