The 2019 Houston Foresight Spring Gathering is quickly approaching and we are working on the final planning details.

  1. Center for Houston’s Future (CHF) https://www.centerforhoustonsfuture.org) will host this year’s Saturday event, representing in many ways a symbolic connection between the venue and our theme of “Introducing the Future to People and Organizations”. CHF is conveniently located near Houston’s Discovery Green Park (https://www.discoverygreen.com), providing spring gathering attendees with an opportunity to see more of Houston and to engage more with Houston’s culture.
  2. Please send a RSVP to Andy Hines at ahines@uh.edu to confirm your participation for Friday, April 12, Saturday, April 13, or both. We’ll meet up Friday evening for dinner in or near Discovery Green Park (TBD) and reconnect Saturday morning at CHF for our day-long event. A light breakfast, lunch and snacks will be provided during the event on Saturday as well as food and drink in the evening at the home of Jim and Marci Breaux. Each person is responsible for his/her own dinner Friday night.
  3. We will kick off Saturday’s event with an icebreaker in which we will share our personal 90-second elevator speech for introducing the future to people and organizations not familiar with foresight. So, please come prepared to share!
  4. We have negotiated a Courtesy Block of rooms (under “Houston Foresight” or the “University of Houston”) at the Hilton Americas-Houston Hotel at a discounted rate of $150 a night plus 17% tax (check in, April 12 and check out, April 14). The regular room rate for those dates is $254 per night, making this a really great deal. The hotel will create a personalized web page containing a link for the $150 room rate. Because this is a Courtesy Block, the rate will change (increase) as we get closer to the date of the event, so the sooner you can reserve your room, the better. If you think you might want to reserve a room at the Hilton Americas-Houston, please email Kimberly at drkrdani@gmail.com to receive a separate email containing the reservation web link, once it is created.

We look forward to seeing you in April!
