- **Event Name**: TXD Regional Roundtable in La Porte (Texas Independence Trail)
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 20 Feb, 2026 at 09:00 am – Fri, 20 Feb, 2026 at 03:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Meet us on the bay in La Porte for the first TXD Regional Roundtable of 2026 and experience a Main Street comeback story worth stealing notes from.

In just three years, La Porte has welcomed 14 new businesses, fueled by intentional collaboration, real support for entrepreneurs, and a clear vision for the future. At this Regional Roundtable, you’ll hear their candid story—"Where We Started vs. Where We’re Going"—and learn what actually works when it comes to regional partnerships and economic development (beyond just talking about it).

Located in the Texas Independence Trail, La Porte is also home to some of the most beautiful sunrises in Texas—absolutely worth the early wake-up call. Even better, the learning continues into the weekend with Regional Roundtable on Friday and Mardi Gras on Main on Saturday. Bring your learning cap and your Fat Tuesday beads.

Bonus: The first FIVE registrants will receive a La Porte Mardi Gras swag bag.
