About the Texas Media+Entertainment Summit™
The Texas Media+Entertainment Summit™ is a bold, future-facing two-day gathering of top voices, visionaries, and industry leaders taking place 15–16 January 2026 at the prestigious Tobin Center in downtown San Antonio. Presented by Women in Film & Television Texas (WIFT Texas), this premier event offers a powerful yet accessible platform for professionals across film, television, music, digital, and live entertainment, representing all verticals including sports, culinary, performing arts, and more. This summit is where seasoned and emerging media gather to connect, collaborate, and chart new territory — together. Anchored by rich programming including keynote interviews, dynamic panels, and curated networking experiences, the summit takes place in the Carlos Alvarez Studio Theater under the theme “Storytelling Big as the Texas Sky” designed for meaningful dialogue, inspiration, and making relationships.
The Texas Media+Entertainment Summit™ executive team, producers, and curators are accomplished media professionals who have helmed national conferences, major productions, and industry-leading initiatives. The Texas M+E Summit serves as the powerful prelude to The Celestial Awards™second annual awards show on Saturday, January 17, which honors trailblazing women of excellence in Media & Entertainment. Proceeds benefit WIFT Texas, the member organization that has created these premium platforms for all Women in Film & Television International recognized chapters to participate in while supporting, elevating, and connecting women working across the media and entertainment landscape. Headquartered in San Antonio and officially recognized by the global WIFTI network, WIFT Texas champions women in every stage of their careers, from emerging creators to established icons, and this Summit is where that energy comes to life.
