How do I prepare for Salt Lake City?

The Grand America Hotel is located at 4,200 ft. Traveling to higher altitudes can have physiological effects on your body due to the decrease in oxygen availability. It's important to take precautions to minimize the risk of altitude sickness and other health issues. Following are some high-altitude tips: 

• Plan to drink extra water daily to remain hydrated. 

• Take it easy for the first few days to allow your body to acclimate to the altitude. 

• Avoid strenuous physical activity. 

• Limit alcohol consumption. Altitude can have a significant impact on alcohol consumption. At high altitudes, the lower air pressure causes a decrease in the oxygen available to the body. This can lead to a decrease in the body's ability to metabolize alcohol, meaning that alcohol stays in the bloodstream for longer periods of time. As a result, the effects of alcohol can be felt more strongly, and it can take longer for the body to process the alcohol. 

Are meals and beverages provided?

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be provided throughout the event, starting on Tuesday evening. In addition to meals, beverages and snacks will be available for attendees throughout the event.

I have dietary restrictions. What should I do? 

Please input your dietary restrictions into your registration form. If you have additional questions, please email Influencegreatness@octanner.com. 

What is the weather like in Salt Lake City in September? 

Salt Lake’s autumn days can range from dazzlingly clear and sunny in the mid-70s to blustery rain and cooler temperatures, with lows usually in the 50s. Please plan accordingly.

Yes. O.C. Tanner has made special arrangements with The Grand America Hotel to offer a special conference rate of $299/night, and with the Little America Hotel for $224/night (plus taxes and fees). Book early to secure your room(s) at these rates.
