DANA 2026 Annual Meeting
Elevate Your Perspective at DANA's 2026 Annual Meeting
On Sunday, March 1st, the Downtown Austin Neighborhood Association (DANA) invites you to a bird's-eye view of the past, present, and future of downtown Austin. We're gathering at the stunning Hanover Brazos Street amenity room for an evening dedicated to the people, policies, and panoramas that define our neighborhood.
An Evening Above the Clouds
As the sky transitions through the legendary Austin sunset, treat yourself to:
A Taste of Austin: We're keeping it classic with a spread of savory BBQ and fresh veggies, paired with a selection of refreshing non-alcoholic beverages.
The Inside Scoop: District 9 Council Member Zo Qadri will take the floor to pull back the curtain on the past year's council actions and downtown happenings. Expect a candid review of the developments that have shaped our skyline and a first look at the initiatives set to transform downtown in the coming year.
The "Deep Dive" Panel: Moving beyond the headlines, Council Member Qadri will join a panel of dedicated downtown advocates. Hear expert perspectives on the issues that hit closest to home:
● Housing & Transportation: The evolution of how we live and move.
● Parks & Open Spaces: Preserving our "green" amidst the "glass."
● The Central City District Plan: A roadmap for shaping the future of downtown and adjacent neighborhoods.
Connection & Community: Between the insights and the sunset, mingle with neighbors, meet fellow urbanites, and share your own vision for downtown Austin.
Come for the BBQ, stay for the sunset, and leave with deeper connections to the downtown neighborhood.
