4Q26 Texas Year-End Celebration & Statewide Leadership Summit
Year-End Celebration & Statewide Leadership Summit
The Economic Club of Texas will conclude the year with its signature Year-End Celebration & Statewide Leadership Summit on Thursday, November 19, bringing together members and guests from Austin, Dallas, and Houston for a premier statewide gathering of business and civic leaders.
The experience begins Thursday afternoon with an exclusive, curated executive networking session for members. Rather than traditional open networking, attendees will receive 3–6 personalized introductions to fellow executives, entrepreneurs, investors, and business leaders based on shared interests, industries, and opportunities. The goal is to foster meaningful relationships and conversations that extend well beyond the event itself.
Following the networking session, guests will attend a formal Black Tie Dinner, open to members, spouses, and non-members. The evening will feature engaging conversation, exceptional dining, and opportunities to strengthen relationships across Texas' business community. The Club expects to welcome more than 120 attendees, making this one of its largest and most impactful events of the year.
Throughout the evening, attendees can also expect a lighthearted element that celebrates the friendly rivalry and camaraderie among the Austin, Dallas, and Houston communities, adding an engaging and memorable dimension to the event while reinforcing the Club's statewide spirit.
For guests traveling from outside the host city, the Club plans to reserve approximately 25 hotel rooms. The experience will conclude on Friday morning with optional golf and/or tennis outings, providing additional opportunities to build relationships in a relaxed setting before returning home.
The Year-End Celebration & Statewide Leadership Summit is designed to become the Economic Club of Texas' marquee annual event—bringing together leaders from across the state to exchange ideas, build lasting relationships, celebrate the year's accomplishments, and create momentum for the year ahead.
