MARCH 23 – 24, 2023 | Dive into Texas’ wild and vivid lands, especially its people, their resilience and how they adapted to or impacted the ever-developing Texas.
This year’s Conference on Texas theme, Origin Stories, emboldens all of us to rediscover our relational and familial beginnings, whether we are generational Texans or just arrived. We constitute this great state with its power and foibles, its vastness, and astonishingly fascinating urban spaces, especially the culturally dense San Antonio.
