A Message from Dallas Councilwoman Laura Cadena
|
It is my great pleasure to welcome the life science and healthcare innovation community to Dallas for the 11th Annual iC³® Summit. As the proud host district of this year’s summit—home to the Hilton Anatole, Pegasus Park, BioLabs, Bridge Labs, and many of our city’s most dynamic innovation assets—I could not be more excited to see Dallas take center stage.
Dallas is a city of visionaries and builders, and District 6 reflects that spirit every day. The iC³ Summit is a powerful extension of that energy—bringing together scientists, entrepreneurs, investors, and leaders to shape the future of healthcare and expand the possibilities of science and technology.
For those of you joining us from across the country and around the world: we can’t wait to welcome you. This summit will not only showcase Dallas’ leadership in life sciences but also highlight the collaboration, creativity, and bold thinking that define our community.
I look forward to seeing you in District 6 this September as we gather for discovery, dialogue, and the future of healthcare innovation.
With excitement,
Laura Cadena
Dallas City Council, District 6
