We have liftoff! Join us for the official Hard Tech Week Opening Party for an evening of good food, good company, and Utah's hard tech community. Hosted by Traeger and sponsored by OTW Safety, this opening celebration kicks off a week of incredible events. Theme: Space Cowboy. Long before it was a hard tech hub, Utah was frontier territory, settled by people willing to bet on the unknown. That same willingness now drives the hard tech ecosystem, led by the trailblazers and innovators building what's next. Dress the part if you're up for it: hats, boots, spacesuits, and anything that leans into the theme are welcome and encouraged, but not required. Space is limited. RSVP early to secure your spot.
