Accommodations Information, Special UGIC Rates at the Zermatt Resort




Zermatt is Utah's newest top-notch resort and conference facility.
It's located 45 minutes from the Salt Lake City airport in the Heber Valley.

 

Please join us and enjoy the beautiful spring weather in Wasatch County at this unique resort nestled in the foothills of the Wasatch Mountains.  Take advantage of the low conference rates which include Spa privileges and enjoy all that this AAA 4 Diamond resort has to offer.  Unwind in one of the relaxation rooms, enjoy a brisk workout, or melt away with a relaxing sauna.

 

Be sure to take advantage of the discounted pre-conference ESRI Training Courses.  New this year, we are offering five (5) ESRI "hands on" workshops that are a part of the conference workshop blocks which are included with your conference registration.  Space is limited for these "hands on" workshops so be sure to register early to reserve your seat. 

 

Enjoy our conference keynote speakers and learn what is going on in the GIS community at our plenary sessions on Wednesday and Thursday mornings.  Make plans to stay for the Conference Vendor Social Wednesday early evening.  Visit with our conference sponsors and learn about the new technologies and resources they have to offer.  Enjoy the food and drink and network with fellow attendees, renew old acquaintances, make new friends, and possibly win a prize in the Vendor Social Raffle.

 

Be sure to take advantage of our two (2) "Birds of a Feather" lunches.  Topic tables will be offered for those who want to enjoy a discussion on their favorite GIS topics while they enjoy their lunch.  Please check the "Birds of a Feather" Lunches page for a list of planned topics.

 

Enjoy the user breakout sessions offered every day of the conference.  These 40 minute concurrent blocks of presentations offer insight into what your peers are working on, provide instruction and training, and network opportunities.

 

Wrap up this years conference experience by attending the conference closing luncheon on Friday.  Trade conference stories and experiences with old and new friends and try your luck in the conference raffle for a chance to win one of many UGIC and vendor sponsored raffle prize.

 

Finally, if you haven't had enough of this years conference stick around and play 9 holes of golf with us at this year's Conference Golf Tournament.  Pros and duffers alike are invited to participate and join us on the Homestead Golf Course just across the street from the Zermatt Resort and Spa.  See the Golf Tournament page for more information.

 

We hope you enjoy this years UGIC Conference.  We'll see you in Midway this April.
