The Economic Club of Dallas

Where leadership meets momentum.

Our mission

The Economic Club of Dallas connects, informs and empowers global business leaders operating across the Texas Triangle region.

The room

The conversation changes when the room does.

ECD brings together leaders for candid conversations with people shaping business, policy and the world around us. Members engage directly with our guests and with one another, asking the questions that matter, challenging ideas, and creating exchanges that continue long after the program ends.

Each conversation is shaped by the people in the room. No surrogates. Members come to participate, not simply to listen, creating the kind of candid exchange that only happens when the room is carefully curated.
