Jeopardy Champ Ken Jennings to Address UITA Members

Nothing is Trivial in The Information Age

SALT LAKE CITY, March 11, 2005 – The Utah Information Technology Association (UITA) is pleased to announce that record-breaking Jeopardy Champion, Ken Jennings, III will be the keynote speaker at their Annual Members’ Meeting on March 31 at Little America. He will address “Nothing is Trivial in The Information Age.” At the meeting, CEO and CTO of the year awards will also be announced along with legislator awards.
 
 

Jennings grew up in Seattle, Seoul, and Singapore, and has since lived in Spain and Salt Lake City. Jennings attended college at Brigham Young University (BYU), where he received degrees in computer science and English. He was also on BYU's quiz bowl team for three years.

“Ken is an outstanding example of the intellectual capital of our state, and we are pleased to have him represent our industry,” said Richard Nelson, UITA President.
