Is the TML Green
house Right for You?
We’re interested in content-rich presentations of 30 minutes or less, focusing on issues and programs affecting Texas cities. Presentations should be informative and educational, not promotional.
TML Conference attendees appreciate speakers that represent the diversity of Texas, and especially enjoy hearing from other Texas cities.
Greenhouse presenters only deliver unique content that is guaranteed to help our city officials learn and grow. If product demonstration is your main goal, let us find another opportunity that is right for you.
