UTIA Speaker Interest Form

Hospitality & Tourism High School CTE Program

The Utah Tourism Industry Association is creating a Speaker Bureau to connect high school hospitality and tourism classrooms with real-world professionals from Utah’s visitor economy. This is part of a statewide effort to grow awareness of career paths in lodging, culinary arts, parks, events, marketing, and more.

By joining the Speaker Bureau, you'll help students explore future careers, hear personal stories, and understand how Utah’s tourism industry works - whether through a classroom visit, virtual session, or career panel.

Please note: all speaker participation is voluntary, and your time, services, and expertise are offered without payment.
