It’s that time again for one of my favorite events in San Antonio – UTSA’s Great Conversation. Each year at the end of February hundreds will gather at the Institute of Texan Cultures for a night of good food, fun and most importantly table talk. The event benefits the UTSA Honors College by providing funds for scholarships for current and future students to attend the college. What makes the event so much more entertaining is that you spend about an hour talking about various table topics led by community leaders and experts. Now in its 10th year this event continues to grow as more people are catching on to the fun. It’s also a great place to network and meet new friends. This year’s event is scheduled for February 23rd and tables are filling up fast. If you’ve never enjoyed the experience, I strongly encourage you to spend a night sitting with other San Antonians enjoying a great conversation.

Tuesday night I attended UTSA’s Great Conversation! at the Institute of Texan Cultures, a fundraiser for the Honors College at UTSA. The event is really a great experience of food and table conversation. The RK Group catered the event and provided a hearty buffet of cajun fare in celebration of Mardi Gras. Table topics ranged from “Going Green, Architecture for the Future” to “The Political Landscape in Texas in 2009 and Beyond.” Judging from the noise in the room everyone was definitely engaged in some great conversation.
