Core Conference:
Austin Central Library
710 W Cesar Chavez St, Austin, TX 78701
The core conference will be held in the Austin Central Library, a landmark of civic architecture and sustainable design, achieving LEED Platinum certification while redefining what a public building can contribute to urban life.
Its expansive glass façade floods the interior with natural light and frames sweeping views of Lady Bird Lake, transforming the library into a vertical community hub rather than a traditional reading space.
A green rooftop garden offers a living demonstration of biophilic design and climate-responsive architecture, while flexible interior spaces support knowledge exchange, public engagement, and innovation.
As a centerpiece of Austin’s urban waterfront, the library exemplifies how cultural buildings can catalyze density, sustainability, and community in equal measure—making it a must-experience venue for conference attendees.
Please join fellow industry leaders for an evening of meaningful networking at The Republic, one of the city’s most prominent new office towers redefining the downtown skyline. In 1839, Austin’s first city lots were sold under the historic oaks of Republic Square Park. Today, The Republic brings a reimagined office environment to the place of Austin’s founding—a modern hub for top talent that reflects the city’s authentic spirit and dynamic lifestyle through progressive design, state-of-the-art offices and amenities, and unmatched hospitality. This networking event offers all core conference attendees the opportunity to connect within a setting that embodies innovation, urban energy, and architectural ambition – all with breathtaking views of downtown Austin.
