1868 ZCMI 1999

Macy's

Zion's Cooperative Mercantile Institution was established in Salt Lake City in 1868 and operated until 1999 when ZCMI was purchased by the parent company of Macy's. The store was demolished as part of the City Creek Center development. The facade is now part of the Macy's storefront. Read more here.

Planning for a three day conference sure has changed.

Used to be you'd receive a printed program in the mail.

Then program planners moved to providing the program online & you printed off what looked interesting. At the conference itself you might get a print program or the syllabus on a flash drive. Printing stations would be available to print information on sessions of interest. 

This conference had an app for smartphones. You could see the schedule and mark sessions that looked interesting. Those sessions then appeared on an hour by hour daily calendar. By touching the session title, you could get more information on the presentation as well as the speaker - then you could rate the session when it was over. 

Transitions make life interesting
