Salt Lake selected to host leadership expo

SALT LAKE CITY — The city has been selected to host the 2016 annual meeting and exposition of the Center for Association Leadership.

The organization announced this week its city lineup for the event from 2013 to 2017.

The event attracts thousands of association executives and hundreds of exhibitors each year. Among the executives who attend are those who select destinations for their own organization's meetings and events. It is estimated that 20 percent of the delegates who attend the annual meeting and exposition book their own conventions in the host city within five years.

It will be the first event for the organization in Salt Lake City.
