Salt Lake City, UT – September 30th, 2025

Join us at the newly opened Utah Film Center in Salt Lake City on September 30th for our final stop on our Culture Connects 2025 Regional Conference Tour!  We are thrilled to offer an "Afternoon of Advocacy" where we will present practical guidance on crafting your story as well as policy insights from a trusted Utah Insider.  

Effective Advocacy: How to Craft Your Story

Annie DiMartino, Executive Director

Participants will investigate evidence-based advice for promoting positive narratives that help policymakers invest in arts, culture and humanities with confidence. Explore what to say, how to stay it and the order in which we should consider saying it to demystify advocacy and get to the heart of the story we all need to collectively tell.
