The Texas Tribune is pleased to present three conversations about how technology is transforming Texas. Join us in San Antonio for the second part of this series: a discussion on the reimagining of public and higher education. James Henson, director of the Texas Politics Project at the University of Texas at Austin and associate director of Liberal Arts Instructional Technology Services, will moderate.

Our panelists are: 

• Kerry Ballast, director of educational technology at the Texas Education Agency
• Steven Mintz, executive director of the University of Texas System's Institute for Transformational Learning
• Veronica Stidvent, chancellor of Western Governors University (WGU) Texas
• Brian Woods, superintendent of the Northside Independent School District

This event will be held in the auditorium of the San Antonio Central Library. Parking will be available in the adjacent Central Library Garage; the library provides one hour of parking validation, and each additional 30 minutes is $1. The event is free and open to the public and includes a complimentary lunch.

The conversation will also be livestreamed at texastribune.org/livestream starting at noon, and the video will be accessible for viewing afterward on this event page.
