TiECON TEXConnect 2025 was that vision.
Born out of a collaboration between TiE Austin, TiE Dallas, and TiE Houston, it set out to be more than a conference—a platform to spotlight innovation, nurture entrepreneurship, and build bridges across geographies, industries, and cultures.

We approached this as the planting of a seed.

The seed of a TREE, whose roots lie in community and whose branches grow through shared knowledge. We believe this TREE will bear fruits of Trailblazing Innovation & Entrepreneurship, in the true spirit of TiE.

On the 29th of March, that belief came to life.

Over 250 attendees joined us—bringing curiosity, openness, and purpose. We had two inspiring keynote speakers and 20 insightful panelists who generously shared their journeys and ideas.
