An Exclusive Invitation
It’s time to honor “Trailblazers & Tradition: 10,000 Texans Strong”, for the 2nd Annual Texas Venture Gala & Forum and theme of the year. There has never been a time, with this level of frontiering spirit in Texas history, that is met with recognizing and paying homage to our state’s past. Together in one big truly Texas-sized evening, with 20+ cities represented, we come together to celebrate the 10,000+ Texas venture network and growing innovation ecosystem.
A few core Texan values include resilience, resourcefulness, and being neighborly, which also describe recent times. This experience will recognize Texas Excellence in leading our sector through this period, and spotlights the fastest-growing sector in the Texas business community: innovation. We welcome startups, scale-ups, and the ecosystem of support including top legislators and government officials— all as key drivers of the future in Texas. Those who believe Texas is the best place to do business not just in America, but in the world (and now the galaxy), are exclusively invited to join and co-create this not-to-be-missed experience.
— Glenn Hamer, President & CEO of the Texas State Chamber of Commerce (Texas Association of Business), and CS Freeland, President of the Texas Venture Alliance
Investors, portfolio companies, special guests, or pre-approved industry partners are welcome to attend this exclusive experience. Limited partnership & sponsorship opportunities are available.
