Dear Friend of the Tribune,

The registration desk for the 2016 Texas Tribune Festival is now open and we’re proud to announce the first confirmed speakers, with many more to come as we lead up to the Fest.

Out of the gate, the Festival boasts more than 130 confirmed speakers, including Henry Louis Gates Jr., historian and filmmaker; Vicente Fox, former President of Mexico; former Florida Congressman Allen West, now executive director of the National Center for Policy Analysis; Bill Richardson, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations; T. Boone Pickens, chairman and CEO of BP Capital Management; Wendy Davis, 2014 Democratic candidate for Texas governor; Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson; former U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas; and San Antonio Mayor Ivy Taylor. Check out the full list of speakers: http://texastribune.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3d0ce87edeeb6df90043897db&id=c2bfe69031&e=df70708b10

Programming highlights include discussions on the national security agenda for the 45^th president, race in America since MLK, the disappearance of the political center, how to think about U.S.-Mexico relations, the challenges of running a major American city and the economics of college sports. Sunday at the Festival will include a roundtable discussion on the 2016 presidential race with The New Yorker’s John Cassidy; CNN's S.E. Cupp; MSNBC’s Steve Kornacki; Time magazine’s Jay Newton-Small; and The Washington Post’s David Weigel. The full panel schedule will be announced in August.

And don’t miss out on the special Thursday night feast at Franklin Barbecue, featuring a conversation with Martin Baron, executive editor of The Washington Post and one of the subjects of Spotlight, the 2016 Oscar winner for Best Picture. An extra $250 ticket is required for the event, which includes all-you-can-eat barbecue and beer. Purchase your ticket when you register for the Festival.

We hope to see you there.
