Event Information

Thursday, Nov 5, 2026 at 11:00 AM to 1:45 PM CST

Hotel Contessa, 306 West Market Street, San Antonio, TX, 78205, United States.

Two days after the midterms, we'll convene to discuss Markets, Megaregion & Main Street on the beautiful San Antonio Riverwalk. 

JPMorgan Chase economist, Joe Seydl, will deliver a national-to-state economic outlook built on the Foundation's own statewide survey of business economic confidence, including a direct read on what the midterm results could mean for small business policy.

A fireside chat with elected officials from the Austin-San Antonio megarion includes presumptive Bexar Co Judge-elect/former San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg, Travis County Commissioner Ann Howard, and presumptive Guadalupe Co Judge-elect Michael Carpenter, who will explore the megaregion and its growing relevance to small business.

The program closes with the Power of Better Business panel of business leaders from JPMorgan Chase, Deloitte, Texicare, and two additional business leaders on the theme, a conversation that earns lasting visibility as a six-page feature in the San Antonio Business Journal.

Seats are limited. Reserve yours today.
