Beyond the Pitch: How a Global Event Shapes Greater Houston

This program is designed to examine the intersection of global football, business, culture, and economic development, with a particular emphasis on the transformative impact of the World Cup on the Greater Houston region. We are bringing together a highly curated group of leaders and stakeholders whose perspectives reflect the international and entrepreneurial fabric of our city.

Among the participants, we are honored to have Dr. Laura Murillo, President of the Houston Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and board member of the Houston Sports Authority, delivering the keynote address. The program will also include leadership from BrazilNet, a chamber representing Houston’s Brazilian business community, as well as participation from the Association of Mexican Entrepreneurs (AEM) and other strategic business partners. Our panel will feature a Former World Cup Semi Finalist & Houston Restuaranteur, Arash Noamouz, alongside representation from the Netherlands Business Support Office, creating a dynamic and globally informed discussion. Doors open at 4pm and the program will begin promptly at 4:15 and go until 5:45pm. Following the opening remarks & program, guests will stay for the Houston Dynamo FC vs Vancouver Whitecaps FC match starting at 7:30pm
