Registration Is Now Open for AGC Houston’s 2026 Annual Chapter Meeting Featuring Keynote Speaker Anthony Huey!

Wednesday, February 25, 2026

7:00 AM to 10:00 AM

Junior League of Houston

1811 Briar Oaks Ln, Houston, TX 77027

Join us on February 25th for our Annual Chapter Meeting featuring keynote speaker and communication expert Anthony Huey as he highlights the Power of Talk in an AI World. Anthony Huey, CSP®, is a highly rated international speaker who provides attendees with practical communication tools, tips, and techniques they can put to use immediately.

In a world where ChatGPT enables everyone to write like a Harvard graduate, the true power to stand out now lies in verbal communication. Unfortunately, many studies show that the fear of public speaking ranks higher than the fear of death, and those who struggle to talk in front of others will quickly find themselves and their organizations falling behind. Join Anthony Huey in this lively and thought-provoking keynote as he explores the power of verbal communication. Anthony helps his audiences understand the importance of perception and how first impressions are primarily formed when we speak, whether in person, virtually, or on the phone.

At this event, we will recognize the 2025 Standard of Excellence Award winner, the AGC Houston 2025 William H. Scott III Volunteer of the Year Award recipient, and the 2025 graduating class of Leadership AGC.
