About the Event:

The Event Trust Funds Programs, comprised of three separate funds—the Events Trust Fund, Major Events Reimbursement Program and Motor Sports Racing Trust Fund—are economic incentive tools utilized by Texas communities to attract various types of events to the Lone Star State. The program assists Texas communities with paying costs related to preparing for or conducting an event by depositing projected gains in various local and state taxes generated from the event in a dedicated event-specific trust fund to cover allowable expenses.

To help current and prospective applicants, EDT's Economic Development Finance division will host two upcoming webinars to provide an overview, best practices and answer questions on the Event Trust Funds Programs.

About:
The first webinar, taking place on May 18, will provide information on the application process and other steps to take before the event occurs. The second webinar, taking place on May 20, will offer an update on the actions required after the event is completed. A group of expert panelists will join the webinars to answer your questions and offer advice on best practices during the application and post-event processes during a live Q&A.

You can register for both events at the registration link found below.

Participation in the Webinar is FREE, however there is a maximum capacity of 10,000 attendees.
