Hola amigos,
1) H-Town Roundup is almost here,so Block Your Calendar!!!
March 30 – April 3. One week. Houston's entire innovation ecosystem under one roof.
H-Town Roundup 2026 is Houston Exponential's flagship week of programming, and it brings together the founders, investors, and tech talent that are quietly making this city one of the most exciting startup scenes in the country. The best part? Core programming is free.
NYC has their tech week. Miami has theirs. But HTR isn't trying to be any of those. It's the H-Town version: less posturing, more substance. Less velvet rope, more open door.
Here's what I'd tell any founder, operator, or curious tech person in Houston right now: register, show up early, and stay late. The keynotes are great, but the real magic happens in the margins — the 15 minutes before a session starts, the hallway handshake after a panel, the parking lot conversation you almost skipped.
The schedule and speaker lineup are already live. Don't sleep on this one.
REGISTER!
2) I’m speaking at AITX Community Houston next Thursday here’s the deal: I went to NVIDIA GTC and bringing back some takeaways… then we’re building GTM strategy together! every person in the room will walk out with a Claude skill built for their GTM. the actual thing. working. for your business and I’ll also show how Beezi AI plugs orchestration straight into your software development workflows see comments for the registration link Register!
3) A small group of CIOs, CTOs and senior technology leaders will come together for a closed door discussion on how AI is shifting from something you use to something that operates around you. The conversation will be led by Microsoft’s Preston Peine and Unified Communications Chief Strategist Ryan Herbst.
All accompanied by a private dinner and guided bourbon tasting at one of Houston’s most iconic restaurants.
When? - March 24th, 5:30 – 8:30 P.M. at Rainbow Lodge, Houston TX
Must be registered. LINK 👈
