Happy New Year!

Would you like to attend a FREE Educational Symposium designed specifically for city leadership and economic development decision-makers?

As we kick off 2026, I’m excited to continue working with cities, developers, and strategic partners to create epic destinations that drive economic growth, tourism, and long-term community impact.

You’re invited to attend the Creating Epic Destinations Symposium (CED26), February 17–19 in Grand Prairie, Texas — a FREE, educational event built for municipalities, developers, and public-private stakeholders.

What You’ll Learn at CED26:
CED26 delivers real-world education on Public-Private Partnership (P3) development, including a clear, practical comparison of:

P3 Financing

This ensures municipalities can make informed, strategic financial and development decisions.
