Usana convention bringing 6,000 to Salt Lake

Downtown Salt Lake City will be filled today through Saturday with an estimated 6,000 participants in Usana Health Science’s 18th annual international convention. Expected to contribute $6 million to Salt Lake County’s economy, the convention will feature keynote speeches by company founder Myron Wentz, author Linda Armstrong Kelly and Olympic gold medal-winning basketball player Jennifer Azzi, who also played for the Utah Starzz in the WNBA. The convention also will feature a 5K walk/run to raise money for a Usana-supported charity, the Children’s Hunger Fund. Usana has raised more than $100,000 for the organization, the company said.
