TXPS 2026 in Austin
TXPS 2026 in Austin is going to be held in a gorgeous venue, Austin’s Central Library. The venue is not only centrally located but is also a majestic, modern facility with lots of cool amenities.
The Event Center, which is where our sessions will take place is used for presentations, banquets and receptions. Similar to our venue in Lewisville in years past, the meeting room is far from meeting space, it’s a beautiful place to learn, chat, and connect with fellow pet sitting business owners. Here are a few of the venue amenities:
- modern decor with clean lines and lots of light
- floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Lady Bird Lake
- covered patio area is attached to the south and east sides of the room
- lots of greenery to separate the area from its urban environment
Participating in this conference is not only a great way to learn, expand, and nurture your business but it’s also a fantastic opportunity to enjoy Austin in all its glory – especially because it’s long before the spring/summer humidity hits!
