E Especially this year, given our theme. For me the conference theme, I AM History, reflects the role of individuals, singular decisions, and unique, consequential events that, large and very small, make up the many threads of history. You will see there is much on this I AM History program that speaks to the idea that relevant history is inclusive history. And all of us will experience Austin’s own breadth of people and culture in the tours, evening and offsite events, the new “Texas Track” of sessions, and in our own wanderings around town. Program Committee Chair Dina Bailey and Host Committee Co-chairs Laura Casey and Margaret Koch coordinated hours of toil by their committees to create this adventurous program.

Residents proudly "Keep Austin Weird" in the 78704 zip code while neighborhoods like Travis Heights, Barton Hills and Bouldin Creek reflect highly diverse personalities: you'll discover historic homes next to modern architecture featured in magazines. A progressive, creative, personality-packed part of town, find folks who grow their own food, ride bikes to the neighborhood bar (many of Austin's "it" bars reside on the east side) and enjoy weekend farmers' markets. With a slower pace than downtown–but only a short bike ride away–this delightfully diverse area of kind folks and hip businesses is also growing into one of Austin's favorite places to hang out.

  • Guide to Austin and UT
    ……………………………………………………………………………………………… A Visitor’s Guide to Austin and The University of Texas ……………………………………………………………………………………………… Compiled by the Teresa Lozano Long Institute of Latin American Studies Shopping As soon as you have found a place to live, you will need to furnish it with the basics for eating, sleeping, study, and relaxation. A Good Place to Start Most students make an early trip to Wal-Mart or Target, which are general- purpose discount stores where you can get most of the things you need to set up housekeeping. They sell sheets, blankets, pillows, and towels; a great variety of cooking and eating supplies; appliances; cleaning supplies; office/school supplies; and many other things. The Super Wal-Mart stores also sell food; the regular Wal-Marts sell some sodas and snacks but not much for regular meals. Wal-Mart Stores: 620 Lake Creek 1030 Norwood Park Blvd. 5017 W. Hwy 290 12900 N. I-35 Target Stores: 8601 Research Blvd. 2300 Ben White 5300 S. MoPac 6405 S.

More than just a 18th-century transportation route between Mexico City and the Spanish capital of the province of Texas, this road, which was designated a National Historic Trail in 2004, has had more than 300 years of impact on the state. El Camino Real de los Tejas playedd an influential role in the Spanish colonial period, Mexico's independence from Spain and Texas' fight for independence. Within Texas, this corridor stretches from the Sabine River to the Rio Grande, winding through trees of the Piney Woods, over the rolling landscape of the Hill Country and among the mesquite and brush of the South Texas Plains. Modern-day travelers will find sites - including Caddoan mounds, missions and presidios - along the route highlighting the American Indian and Spanish Colonial presence in the state followed by settlements such as Nacogdoches, San Antonio, and later, Austin and Laredo. While segments of the route have since been replaced by paved roads, today's explorers I; can enjoy ease of travel and revel in the history while discovering newer charms not available to earlier travelers. D3UH H IMA .:.I ALU~I 1 Camino Real de los Tejas, or Texas' King's Highway, is steeped in the expansive history of the state.

The 3.3 percent unemployment rate is one of the lowest among the nation's major metro areas. While growth slowed in 2016, economic gains were still widespread with the professional/business services, wholesale trade, and finance sectors leading the way. Meanwhile, the real estate market in Austin remains red-hot and inventories of homes for sale remain near historical lows. As a result, new homes will need to be built to meet the rapidly rising demand. This will support continued employment gains in the construction sector. Also, the professional/business services and information services sectors are supported by Austin's thriving high-tech sector, which includes Dell’s corporate headquarters. 4 of 31 Dell - Internal Use - Confidential Austin Rankings MARKET TALENT CAPITAL CULTURE TECH N o . 1 6 N o . 2 3 N o . 2 4 N o . 3 9 N o . 1 Policy 4 Access to 26 Capital 39 Policy 43 Policy 2 Qualified Base P o l i c y : 1 3 Attitudes & 20 Access 41 Personnel Gender 24 Experiences Cost 7 Proportion CostA c c e s s29 : 3 Access to 35 Women’s 23 Mentors/ Number/ 14 Skill & Role Connected 2 Size 38 Value C o s t : 2 5 Experience Models S i z e : 9 5 of 31 Dell - Internal Use - Confidential Notable Policies & Practices Austin, TX Policies and Practices Impacting Women Entrepreneurs in Austin • Business Climate: Austin’s corporate franchise tax, ranging from 0.33 percent to 0.75 percent, replaces a state corporate income tax and decreases costs of doing business in the state.
