Panel discussions and speakers include:

  • Thomas Alvord, co-founder of the country's top crowdfunding marketing firm, is part of a team that has helped over 200 clients raise more than $190 million on Kickstarter and Indiegogo over the last four years.
  • Alisa Gammon is part of the Purple team, that raised $2.6 million on one recent Kickstarter campaign and is one of the top performing advertisers on Facebook.

“Crowdfunding is becoming a primary method for financing new enterprises.  The best crowd funders in Utah will talk about raising big money on Kickstarter and IndieGoGo, as well as through equity crowdfunding channels,” said Bryce Hansen, associate director at the Salt Lake Region SBDC and lead organizer for the event.  “This is the best chance for Utah entrepreneurs to learn and make connections in the crowdfunding space.”
