Houston Energy & Climate Week Kickoff Party: Brews on the Bayou
Houston is the only city on Earth where energy, medicine, space, and the brain economy converge at scale. Nearly 200,000 Houstonians work in energy — more than any other metro in America. The largest medical complex on the planet is here. NASA calls this home. And the trillion-dollar physical economy runs through these streets.
That convergence has a name. We call it the Power of &.
Energy & medicine. Space & software. Oil rigs & rocket ships. Barges & batteries. This city has never made anyone choose — it just builds the next thing next to the last one. That's the whole idea behind this week, and it's the whole idea behind this party.
Monday night, the builders take over the oldest craft brewery in Texas.
One Biergarten. Live music & giant Jenga. City, county, state & federal leaders alongside the builders, backers & believers writing Houston's next chapter. Media welcome & cameras encouraged.
This is not a panel. It's a party with a point.
