FALL POLICY SUMMIT 
& LUMINARY AWARDS DINNER

THBI's annual Fall Policy Summit is a half-day conference with conversations focused on the latest ground breaking research, state and federal policy initiatives, and updates on what Texas biotech is doing to put patients at the forefront of innovation. The day concludes with the Luminary Awards Dinner where we recognize the industry leaders who have furthered innovation in Texas. This event brings together members of the Texas Legislature and their staff, the Texas Congressional delegation and their staff, state agency staff, patient groups, THBI members, and life science industry professionals. 

This year's Fall Policy Summit and Luminary Awards Dinner was a tremendous success. Thank you to all our sponsors, speakers, and attendees; without you - your ideas, your contributions, your time and commitment - we would not be able to put on such an incredible event, year after year. We were especially inspired by the personal stories and family-led advocacy represented by organizations like To Cure a Rose Foundation, Believing for Bryleigh Foundation, and Firefly Fund, reminding us that behind every scientific breakthrough and policy decision are patients and families whose lives can be changed by progress. As we celebrated THBI’s 30th anniversary and three decades of advancing life sciences in Texas, we showcased the vital role of public policy in supporting scientific discovery, improving patient outcomes, and strengthening Texas’ position as a leader in life sciences innovation and economic growth. 

If you were able to join us, thank you for being a part of this special night. 

This event would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors.
