From May 15-16, 2026, Career Connections Dallas-Fort Worth: Translating Exchange into Entrepreneurship will convene U.S. exchange alumni to deepen their understanding of small business and regional economic development. Held in Fort Worth, Texas, attendees will learn from expert speakers, network with fellow exchange alumni, and engage in interactive sessions covering topics such as entrepreneurship, access to capital, digital marketing, branding, and leveraging global skills for local impact. Attendees will leave with personal action plans and expanded resources to support their business and professional goals.
While funding for travel support is limited, assistance for flights and lodging may be available on a case‑by‑case basis for participants traveling from outside the Dallas–Fort Worth area.
