Texas Downtown Roundtable

Description

Looking for fresh ideas, real-world solutions, and downtown connections that will inspire your work? Join Texas Downtown on Friday, September 25 for TXD's final Regional Roundtable of 2026 in the heart of Historic Downtown Terrell.

This one-day educational event brings together downtown professionals, city staff, Main Street managers, nonprofit leaders, elected officials, and community champions for practical discussions, peer networking, and an inside look at one of Texas' evolving downtowns.

The day begins with an update on Downtown Terrell's progress, public perception, and community participation, including highlights from the 2026 update to the 2024 Texas Downtown Assessment.

Then it's time to get outside and experience downtown firsthand. We'll tour downtown completed projects, redevelopment sites, and public improvements that are helping shape Terrell's revitalization story.

After lunch, you'll hear from local leaders and practitioners during educational sessions covering:

• How partnerships helped transform Downtown Terrell from memories to momentum
• The ripple effect of investing a Terrell dollar locally
• Leveraging nonprofit organizations to activate downtown
• Creating memorable holiday experiences without a Hallmark-sized budget

We'll wrap up the afternoon with networking and a casual Social Hour at The Side Street Bar, giving you even more opportunities to exchange ideas and build relationships with colleagues from across Texas.

Whether you're looking for new marketing ideas, creative partnerships, revitalization strategies, or simply a chance to connect with others who care about downtowns, you'll leave Terrell with practical takeaways you can put to work in your own community.

Don't miss your final opportunity in 2026 to learn, network, and be inspired alongside Texas downtown leaders.

We can't wait to see you in Historic Downtown Terrell on Friday, September 25!
