The Texas Tribune is pleased to present three conversations about how technology is transforming Texas. Join us in Houston for the second part of this series: a discussion on the impact of the digital divide in a state with a fast-growing and rapidly changing population.

This event will take place in the HCC West Loop Auditorium. It is free and open to the public, and includes a light lunch. Visitor parking will be available in the main parking lot, located just in front of the main campus entrance (map).
