The MountainWest Capital Network sponsors monthly events. These events inform and instruct members and while giving them a chance to meet and network with one another. Our Business Forums feature speakers or panels addressing timely topics and similar Joint Events with other connected groups, Executive Roundtables for C-Suite Executives and Signature Events where we network and recognize the best in Utah business.
Our MWCN Signature Events are:
The Utah 100 Banquet is the first and best of its kind. We recognize Utah's 15 largest revenue companies, 100 fastest growing, and 20 newer, emerging elite companies. Typically attended by 1,000 business leaders..
The annual Deal Flow event and Deal Flow Report make an invaluable contribution to the community by reporting Venture Capital, Private Equity, Merger & Acquisition and IPO transactions and recognizing dealmakers in Utah. This informs and educates those seeking or offering funds as to the vibrancy of Utah's business community and helps attract capital and talent to the state. Last year over 90% of "deals" reported in the state included a member of MWCN.
Building Business Golf Tournament
Our golf tournament provides a fun environment for networking among Utah's Deal Makers. It is a tournament focused on building business relationships, not on a winning score, with thousands of dollars in raffle prizes along with $150,000 in hole-in-one prizes.
