The Texas Lyceum

Register now for the September Conference: Power Hungry: The Science, Economics and Politics of Energy in Texas

Energy production and consumption are major drivers of Texas, the United States and the world. The Permian Basin is home to the most prolific energy producing region in North America, and possibly the world. However, many might not truly know what energy means to the economy, politics and the environment. At the Midland Conference, we’ll pull back the curtain on these topics and give everyone the chance to see what the Permian Basin has to offer in its people, culture and, of course, its energy production.

A Message from the President

In these difficult times, the work of The Texas Lyceum is more important than ever. The challenges of the global pandemic have forced us to adapt and pivot in order to continue convening the important conversations for which The Texas Lyceum is known. As the pandemic set in, we mobilized to continue to virtually convene conversations around the important issues facing the state. I appreciate the steady leadership of our 2020 President Laura Dixon and her executive committee in 2020. In 2021, we will remain flexible and are committed to helping lead civil discourse on topics important to the future of our great state.
