Source: CTO Breakfast Utah chapter page

Summary

The Utah chapter page of CTO Breakfast, a multi-city organization whose site carries one page per local community. It is the only located source that states the chapter's age, its meeting cadence and venue, and — the substantive part — the five norms the group runs under.

The page is dated April 13, 2026 on its own face, which matters: it is a standing description of a recurring meeting rather than a notice for one date, so it goes stale quietly rather than visibly.

Useful Claims

• The Utah chapter "has been running for over 20 years", gathering CTOs, CIOs, and technology leaders.
• It meets every second Friday at 8:00 AM at the IHOP in American Fork, Utah.
• Five norms govern the meeting, stated on the page: go dutch (everyone pays their own breakfast, tip well); one conversation at a time (so everyone can participate); Chatham House Rules (remarks attributed to the room, not the individual); no politics or religion; and intros every time — name, company, role, at every meeting.
• Joining the Slack community requires emailing a short blurb about yourself rather than an open invite link.
• A separate mailing list exists for in-person event notifications.
• CTO Breakfast is not Utah-specific: the site is organized around multiple communities and invites readers to start one.

Verbatim

The Utah chapter has been running for over 20 years, gathering local CTOs, CIOs, and technology leaders for breakfast and real conversation. — Utah chapter page, opening

Every second Friday at 8:00 AM — "When & Where"

Chatham House Rules — "Norms"

We go dutch — "Norms"

One conversation at a time — "Norms"

No politics or religion — "Norms"

We do intros every time — "Norms"

Reliability Notes

Self-reported tier: this is the organizers' description of their own meeting. It establishes the stated format and norms, and nothing else — not attendance, not whether the norms are observed, not whether any given month's breakfast happened.

Two specific cautions:

• "Over 20 years" is unsourced and unaudited. No founding date, founder, or continuity record is given anywhere on the page, and none was located elsewhere. It is a round claim in a promotional register, and the chapter's own scheduling messages show at least one month departing from the stated cadence — so treat the number as approximate even though the longevity is plausible.
• The stated cadence is not the observed cadence. The page says "every second Friday" flatly. The organizer's own 2026 announcements moved one month to a first Friday and labelled it a change, which the page never reflects. See the 2026 announcements.

The norms are the durable content here. They are unusual enough to be worth preserving verbatim — Chatham House Rules in particular is a specific, named convention with real consequences for what attendees can repeat afterward, and it is the kind of detail that disappears without a capture.
