Some of our favorite comments over the years:

"It was great to attend a conference with such a breadth of topics and technical/big-picture talks."

"This is one of the best opportunities to network and build partnering relationships toward supporting a healthier watershed. The free admission and food makes it possible for all to attend and its timely content makes it appealing to an interesting cross-section of professions and disciplines. Great job!"

"Seriously one of the best, well-run conferences I've ever attended."

"It's a wonderful gestalt of useful and insightful information about what's going on in the watershed, which is of course an important bottom line. I love the networking potential and am very proud of the work that Salt Lake County is doing in this area."

"The Symposium is tremendously important to the future of all of Utah."

"I'm a scientist by profession and seldom have attended ANY meeting as interesting or as immediately useful as this symposium."

"The thought and efforts put into reducing the carbon footprint were incredible. That's tough to accomplish with such a large event."
