The worst part of opening an office in Utah is hearing people say "Silicon Slopes"

I find people casually dropping their church callings or recounting every person they went to high school with who was related to a general authority (or a Huntsman or Romney) far more grating.

What if Silicon Slopes and Utah Tech Council combined forces, had one united voice, and just called themselves Slopes or something/anything not involving Silicon and we never had to deal with it again?

idk what if we just called it Utah and didn't have the need for an enterprise brand name

Silicon Slopes as an organization is doing great events locally, good community building. However, the name feels derivative and inaccurate when used as a name for the state or region.

The name isn’t’ meant to inspire anyone with boots on the ground in Utah. It’s for the press. And the press understand how to write about “the next Silicon Valley”. They don’t know how to write about the beehive. It’s smart to plug into the broader narrative for national coverage

I think they’ll know how to write about the beehive in the next couple years. You won’t be able to not hear about it in my opinion.
