As Houston prepares to welcome the world for the FIFA World Cup, our region’s global leadership is already on full display. From energy and life sciences to advanced manufacturing, logistics, and digital technology, Houston continues to shape international markets and drive economic growth at scale.
We invite you to to join us for the State of Houston’s Global Economy, a signature convening that highlights Houston’s role as a global business capital and releases the latest Global Houston report.
This program delivers timely analysis of global business trends and their direct impact on our region, from foreign direct investment and trade flows to workforce, infrastructure, and geopolitical shifts influencing the year ahead. While the World Cup will spotlight Houston on the world stage, this conversation goes deeper: it examines how Houston’s international reach fuels long-term competitiveness and opportunity.
Individual ticket prices will increase on Thursday, April 23. No refunds after Monday, May 4.
