RMC features a dynamic, interactive technical program that offers attendees an inspiring, educational experience, and a wonderful networking opportunity. Leading industry experts will be present, providing attendees with a multitude of useful information through traditional keynote presentations and several diverse reciprocation sessions.

A live Texas country music concert is also in the schedule, promising attendees a true Texas experience.
