3Q26 Houston Happy Hour and Economic Club Intro

The Economic Club of Texas Comes to Houston

The Economic Club of Texas was founded on a simple principle: bringing together exceptional leaders for meaningful conversations that shape business, public policy, and the future of our state. Following successful events in Austin, we are excited to introduce the Economic Club of Texas to Houston with our inaugural gathering on Thursday, September 17.

Houston is one of the world's leading centers for energy, finance, healthcare, technology, and international commerce. As Texas continues to lead the nation in economic growth and innovation, Houston provides an ideal setting to expand the Club's mission of fostering informed discussion, connecting influential leaders, and creating opportunities for collaboration across industries.

Our inaugural Houston event will bring together executives, entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers, and community leaders for an evening focused on ideas, relationships, and the future of Texas. The event will be held at either the Coronado Club or River Oaks Country Club, with final venue details to be announced.

We are honored to launch the Houston chapter with the support of our founding hosts and sponsors, Tudor Pickering Holt and Emergent Capital Advisors. Their partnership reflects the caliber of leadership and engagement we aim to build within the Houston community.

The Economic Club of Texas is more than a speaker series—it is a community of leaders committed to advancing thoughtful dialogue, strengthening relationships, and helping shape the next chapter of Texas' economic success. We look forward to welcoming Houston's business and civic leaders to this exciting inaugural event and establishing a lasting presence in one of the most dynamic cities in the world.
