Park City, Utah

The collaborative environment of CERV, set against the backdrop of spectacular Park City, Utah, creates an exciting and memorable experience for conference attendees.

Located just 32 miles from Salt Lake City, Park City offers a vibrant blend of culture, recreation, and mountain-town charm. Visitors can enjoy exceptional dining, art galleries, boutique shopping, and local breweries throughout the historic downtown area.

Park City also boasts a rich Olympic legacy. Many of the skiing and snowboarding events during the 2002 Winter Olympics were held in Park City, and the region is once again preparing to welcome visitors as part of the 2034 Winter Olympics. The surrounding mountains offer world-class skiing and snowboarding opportunities for every skill level.

Join us for CERV 2027 and experience the beautiful scenery Park City has to offer.
