Opening Night Dinner | Texas Consilium

About Texas Consilium’s Opening Night Dinner – Monday, May 13, 2019

Join us as we kick off this national gathering of CEOs and other top business leaders. We are combining the national Smart Manufacturing Summit attendees with our local Texas manufacturing CEOs and other top Texas business and governmental leaders to inspire, inform, and network together while we provide a big welcome to our out-of-state guests.

We will also recognize excellence in Texas business as we showcase our inaugural Texas Consilium Award of Excellence with a compelling story of lessons learned, beginning with the Lifetime Achievement Award to Jerry Jones, best known for being owner of the National Football League’s Dallas Cowboys since 1989.

From humble beginnings in Arkansas, to building a business empire valued at more than $5 billion, there are plenty of leadership lessons to be learned from his journey. We invite you to join us as we all learn more together. Selected guests of Gold and higher sponsors will be able to meet Jerry at the VIP Reception, and all guests will get to experience his story as part of our dinner program.
