What will Austin be like in 2032? Will it be more international? Will we achieve greater economic equity? Will Central Texas be more Asian?
These are just a few of the questions we explore in "The Future is Up to Us," a video played during Ovation X. Thank you to Media Partner CBS Austin for working with us to create this beautiful clip. Watch the video HERE.

Our deepest appreciation goes to everyone on the GAACC Ovation Committee and to the numerous sponsors and volunteers who helped make this event such a success.
