Join us for Open Congress at The Texas Tribune Festival for a full day of free, open-to-the-public events with national names you know and unfiltered conversations you crave. Come by for programming from POLITICO, Texas Monthly, TEXAS 2036 and The University of Texas at Austin housed in their own street tents, and stay for book signings, food trucks and more from #TribFest19 partners and supporters. Everyone is invited to attend this day of inspiring ideas, constructive discussions and community building.
