The 2025 McCombs Business Outlook series, “Focus on the Future,” invites you to explore both the great potential and the primary obstacles for three critical industries: energy, real estate and financial technology. Hosted by the McCombs School of Business and the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, these events pull thought leaders from industry, the economy and academia into timely conversations around the forces driving change in the coming year.

Ethan Burris, Texas McCombs senior associate dean for academic affairs, will host the panel discussions in three of Texas’ fastest-growing metro areas: Houston, Dallas and Austin.

Space is limited, so please register early. For information about purchasing a table, email McCombs Career Management and Corporate Relations. Continuing professional education credits offered. No prerequisites or advance preparation required.
