The Texas Tribune presents our "Future of" event series exploring the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for Texas' government, businesses and civic communities as part of our yearlong celebration of the Tribune’s 10th anniversary.

Join us as we travel to Edinburg for a daylong series of conversations on health care issues affecting a state with the most uninsured citizens of any in the country. We'll sit down with lawmakers, thought leaders and medical professionals from all corners of the state for talks on providing better and more affordable health care access for Texas' fast-growing and dynamically diversifying population, the rising costs of health care for both patients and providers, health expenditures in the state budget, the rural health crisis, the role technology and innovation play in the future of health care, and other persistent challenges.
