About this Event
The Greater Houston Partnership invites you to State of the Port, featuring Ric Campo, Chairman of the Port Commission of the Port of Houston Authority, for a timely look at the future of one of Houston’s most important economic engines.
For more than a century, Port Houston has powered global commerce, strengthened the Houston Ship Channel and helped position our region as a leading gateway for international trade. This year’s program brings that story to a dynamic new setting, Le Tesserae at East River, located within one of Houston’s largest mixed-use developments and a powerful example of the city’s continued growth and transformation.
In his annual address, Campo will share the latest on Port Houston’s major developments, infrastructure investments and long-term vision to keep the Ship Channel efficient, competitive and prepared for the evolving demands of global trade. Attendees will gain insight into how the Port’s growth continues to shape Houston’s economy, connect our region to the world and drive opportunity across industries.
