Meeting Venue

Provo is located in the heart of the Intermountain West and is primarily served by the Salt Lake City International Airport (slcairport.com), which offers direct connections to major U.S. and international cities. (Regional domestic flights on American Airlines are also available via the Provo Airport (PVU)).

The meeting will be held on the scenic campus of Brigham Young University, the flagship higher education institution of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, nestled against the majestic Wasatch Mountains. It is a 70-minute train ride from Salt Lake City via the FrontRunner commuter rail and is well-connected by the I-15 highway. Be aware that visitor parking on the BYU campus is restricted to designated visitor lots. The campus is highly accessible via the high-frequency UVX bus line, which connects directly to downtown hotels and the train station.
