Welcome to the 2009 Utah Angel Investor Summit! The Angel Summit brings together Angels and Angel groups from around the State of Utah to exchange information, debate issues, discuss best practices, and network with others in the investor community. The last two years have been especially challenging for both investors and entrepreneurs seeking capital. Accordingly, the objective of the Angel Summit is to build Utah’s Angel Groups, increase collaboration among Angels, encourage deal syndication, and improve returns by identifying and adopting best practices. We thank our Organizing Committee, our sponsors, and the speakers and panelists who have taken the time to share of their expertise. Their involvement and enthusiasm is critical in improving returns and expanding angel investment in Utah. We appreciate your attendance and hope your experience will be rewarding. If you require assistance or have any questions concerning the Conference, please see Chris or Jaime at the registration desk. Thank you! Most Sincerely,

A. Scott Anderson Bradley B. Bertoch President and CEO President Zions Bank Wayne Brown Institute
