SWANA BEEHIVE CHAPTER SYPOSIUM 2026
The Utah Beehive Chapter is finalizing preparations for the upcoming 2026 Symposium in March. Our goal for each biennial symposium is to make the conference informative and educational for all those who attend. To make this possible, we are looking for some guidance from our membership to build the conference training program and presentation agenda. To help us provide the best conference experience, we are asking if you could take a quick 2–3-minute survey regarding training topics, presentations, and events.
We know your time is valuable and appreciate all feedback provided, and look forward to seeing you in Springdale, Utah, March 9-13, 2026.
