Our keynote speaker this year is Ian Rosenberg of Buffalo Bayou Partnership, Senior Vice President of Projects & Planning. We are excited to hear more about their vision and progress on creating a chain of parks, public space, and trails connecting people to Houston's Buffalo Bayou. Their stories include lessons and successes on catalyzing investment, acquiring public space, creating welcoming places, and connecting to the surrounding city that we can learn from to expand the Red Line Parkway and other Austin metro greenways.

We are honored to also be joined by U.S. Congressmen Lloyd Doggett and Greg Casar, and Austin City Council Member Krista Laine—all leaders for Austin trails! And we'll also hear remarks from Red Line Parkway Executive Director Tom Wald providing the latest on the Red Line Parkway and the upcoming Community Vision & Implementation Strategy.

Lunch will be provided.
