With the establishment of the Texas Stock Exchange and business-friendly laws aimed at attracting major companies, Texas leaders are pushing to position the state as a new center of the corporate and financial worlds, challenging long-standing power hubs like New York and Delaware.
Join The Texas Tribune on Tuesday, March 24 in Dallas and online for panel conversations examining the new laws and government initiatives driving this effort, the economic opportunities they promise, and what it means for businesses, workers and the Texas economy.
Join us at 12 p.m. Tuesday, March 24, in the Dallas Regional Chamber’s Toyota Board Room in downtown Dallas.
Speakers include:
• State Rep. Morgan Meyer, R-University Park
• State Sen. Bryan Hughes, R-Mineola
• Chris Babcock, president, Alliance for Corporate Excellence
• Brian Page, managing director, head of government banking, at JPMorganChase
• Ryan Patrick, CEO, Texans for Lawsuit Reform
• John Sepehri, of counsel at Foley and Lardner LLP and former general counsel, Texas Secretary of State
Doors open for registration and lunch at 11:30 a.m. Programming begins at noon with two 45-minute panel conversations. The first examines the legislative and political coalition that advanced Senate Bill 29 and other efforts to boost the Texas economy, and the second focuses on the new law’s legal and business implications.
