Thank you for joining us at the 2026 LAUNCH!  We look forward to working with you this year!

Tentative schedules and sessions can be found on the Texas PTA LAUNCH "Attendee Information" page.  When the event app has been posted, it will have the most up-to-date information.

Here is a LAUNCH Survival List from Dawn Watson, former VPFS TX PTA and RRISD PTA leader. Bring extra, coordinate, and share with friends if you can. 

• Bring a light jacket or sweater. The conference rooms can be cold.

• Wear comfy clothes and shoes. You’ll be doing A LOT of walking and sitting! The Gaylord is a small city!

• Bring water, drinks, snacks, gum, mints!!! Food and coffee lines can get long. 

• Bring eye drops. The A/C is always in the facility and can dry your eyes quickly.

• Don’t forget to CHARGE your technology and cell phones daily. 

• If you have a hotspot it could come in handy… free wifi may only be available in your room.

• Bring hand-sani and a mask if that’s your preference.

• Bring baby wipes and Kleenex. 

• If attending workshops, get there a little early. Space fills up.

• If you are a note taker, take a few pens/pencils.

• Give yourself plenty of time to transition through the venue. 

• Elevators get very busy. Allow time to wait your turn and be on time.

• Check out Tx PTA Meal options or plan ahead for online ordering and delivery options for other meals.
