We were thrilled to host a DRC-record crowd of more than 1,500 for an update on our strategic plan, “Building Tomorrow Together,” and to hear a discussion on “Business. Football. Life.” with Dallas Cowboys legends Emmitt Smith, Roger Staubach and Charlotte Jones Anderson. We want to say thanks once again to our distinguished panel, and to Brad Sham, the voice of the Dallas Cowboys, and Tracy Merzi, publisher of the Dallas Business Journal, for moderating the discussion.

• Following Amazon’s announcement early Thursday morning that the DFW Region made its list of 20 cities in contention for HQ2, Bill Hethcock of the Dallas Business Journal analyzed the chances of the DFW Region.
• #DRCAM18 was the No. 1 trending topic on Twitter in the Dallas Region, generating more than 900,000 impressions. Search social with the hashtag #DRCAM18 to see attendee photos and other coverage.
