Things to do
Come with us to downtown Salt Lake City for a unique experience in a city planned in 1847, with streets as wide as needed to turn around a wagon pulled by a team of oxen.
Temple Square
Experience the peace and tranquility of beautiful Temple Square of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter‑day Saints with a complimentary tour of Utah’s most visited attraction.
Conference Center
Besides being built to seat 21,000 people, the conference center just north of Temple Square is also an ecological marvel. A large section of the rooftop is planted to look like an open meadow. There are also landscape garden areas, planters, trees, and two fountains.

Dining
We have to admit that there is no such thing as Utah cuisine but the state does have an appetite famous for Jell-O, ice cream and cheesy potatoes. There are literally hundreds of dining choices downtown.

City Creek Center
In the heart of Salt Lake City, City Creek Center is the retail centerpiece of one of the nation’s largest mixed-use downtown redevelopment projects. Located immediately south of Temple Square.

Since 1995, the annual SubSolutions conferences have been valuable for hundreds of administrators and managers to learn how to handle the difficult challenges schools and staffing agencies face in managing substitute teaching.
It’s just not the individual substitute teachers, it’s teacher absenteeism, the automated phone systems, the Affordable Care Act, the practices, policies and procedures of the school district, it’s the economy – well, you get the picture.
The session presentations come from school districts and organizations who are working with these challenges each and every day as well as the latest research conducted by STEDI.org.
