OPEN Houston is a global organization that focus on enabling the next generation of entrepreneurs and business leaders.
OPEN Houston Conference has grown into one of Houston's premier gatherings for innovation and entrepreneurship and this year's theme puts it plainly: Houston Ecosystem as a Growth Hub: Energy, Health, Tech & Beyond.
What's on the agenda:

Houston Ecosystems: a look at how energy, health, tech, and beyond are converging in this city
Fireside Chats: candid conversations with business leaders shaping the region
Panel Discussions: expert perspectives on where Houston's innovation economy is headed
This Is Houston's Innovation Economy
This Conference brings together the people shaping this city's future - founders turning ideas into companies, investors backing what's next, business leaders driving major industries, and the students and young professionals set to lead tomorrow.
