Business leaders, builders, and believers in growth—this is your moment.

The 2026 Economic Development Business Summit isn’t just another luncheon on the calendar. It’s where decisions get made, doors get opened, and capital meets opportunity. If you care about where Balch Springs is headed—and where your business fits in that future—you need to be in the room.

On Wednesday, February 25, 2026, from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM, we’re bringing together state leadership, city decision-makers, corporate finance expertise, and minority business development powerhouses under one roof at the Cowboys Event Center.

You’ll hear directly from:

• Adriana Cruz, Executive Director of Economic Development & Tourism for the Office of Governor Greg Abbott — setting the statewide vision and opportunities

• Chris Dyser, Senior Director of Business & Capital, City of Balch Springs — breaking down what’s happening right here, right now

• Denita Lacking-Quinn, Minority Business Development Director, Balfour Beatty — sharing how major firms engage and invest

• Daniel K. Vermeire, Managing Director, Corporate Finance Associates — explaining how projects actually get funded

This is strategy, access, and insight—not theory.

Why act now?

• Advanced tickets are just $50 (they jump to $60 at the door)

• Sponsorship opportunities are limited and already gaining traction

• Sponsors don’t just get logos—they get visibility, credibility, and proximity to decision-makers

Let me be clear:
If your business wants to grow, expand, relocate, invest, or partner, this summit pays for itself the moment the right conversation starts.

Seats are limited. Sponsors are locking in. Momentum is real.
