Full Circle 2027: Texas Circular Economy Summit
About this Event
Circular San Antonio, in partnership with the City of San Antonio, hosts the second annual Full Circle Summit on February 18th and 19th, 2027.
The Full Circle Summit brings together 200+ attendees representing a true cross-section of the reuse industry, from practitioners and business leaders to community organizers, policymakers, designers, educators, and innovators, to explore ways to leverage material reuse for opportunity.
Keynotes, interactive panels, and immersive tours show how reuse, repair, and redesign are creating jobs, strengthening local economies, and celebrating shared culture and identity.
Sessions will include local, regional, national, and international perspectives and leaders.
The Summit is intentionally interdisciplinary. It bridges food, buildings, textiles, glass, and other waste streams, because advancing reuse takes creativity and partnerships. Full Circle is curated to spark both.
Don't miss out on incredible presenters, workshops, and immersive experiences!
Venue announcement in December 2026.
