Brackenridge Park Golf Course, which is the oldest public golf course in Texas, was the first ever to host the Texas Open Golf Tournament in 1922. It was the first course to be inducted into the Texas Hall of Fame. The course offers challenges for golfers of all levels—water comes into play on a few holes, with numerous doglegs and well-placed bunkers to watch out for. Elevated greens and tight fairways lined with trees add to the challenge and fun at Brackenridge Park Golf Club.

Attendees may register as a foursome or as individuals. To sponsor a foursome, please contact Diane Haggerty.

Keynote Presentation:
Automotive Outlook: Evolution or Revolution?

Casey Selecman
Associate Director, Advisory Services, IHS Markit

Disruptive forces are changing the automotive industry at a pace never seen before. Autonomous driving, electric vehicles, new mobility concepts, and vehicle connectivity are each challenging the traditional car and truck status quo. Casey Selecman will level set where the auto industry today is from a vehicle and powertrain perspective, and help frame out when these disruptors are likely to make a volume impact. A review of key technology adoption drivers such as legislation, consumer needs/wants, OEM capabilities, and infrastructure/energy will help ground the forecast analysis.
