This ought to be very interesting!

From the Texas Tribune About page:
Venture capitalist John Thornton founded The Texas Tribune and provided its initial $1 million in funding in 2008. Evan Smith joined as co-founder and CEO with Ross Ramsey serving as co-founder and executive editor, and the Tribune launched on election night of 2009. Today, the Tribune is recognized as a leader in digital-first journalism as well as a national role model for sustainability. In 2022, Thornton retired from the board, and Smith and Ramsey retired from the staff. Sonal Shah began as Tribune CEO in January 2023. Smith remains a senior adviser to the Tribune.

The Tribune Festival will be held in Austin and has a slew of interesting speakers as well as a couple of douches including Ted Cruz. Speakers include Katie Couric, James Carville, Karl Rove (yes, Karl Rove), Congressman Colin Alred, Jake Tapper from CNN and many others.
