Tickets now on sale! The Greater Houston Partnership invites you to the State of Houston's Global Economy on May 2, 2024.

Houston's ties to the global economy have grown alongside the city, propelling its development. Now, the region's economic fortunes are closely tied to the global economy. Last year, Metro Houston created over 100,000 jobs, many linked to global trade, foreign investment and international travel. Looking to 2024, uncertainties arise with growing protectionism. Will Houston's global ties continue to fuel growth, or will they pose challenges to its trajectory?

These questions lie at the heart of our exploration into the State of Houston's Global Economy.

To delve deeper into these critical issues, we invite you to join us for an insightful discussion on May 2 at the Partnership Tower. Together, we will explore the complexities of Houston's global economy, dissect the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead and chart a course for sustainable growth in the years to come.

Panel conversation speakers include:

• Kurt Heim, Vice President of Environmental Advancement, Daikin Comfort
• Moderator: George Y. Gonzalez, Partner, Haynes Boone, LLP

Highlighting the day will be a presentation by the Partnership’s Chief Economist, Patrick Jankowski who will share his insights into the role global trade plays in the region’s growth. Attendees will receive a copy of Global Houston, 60 pages of insights into the role trade and investment play in the region’s economy.
