Tickets cost $100 and tables cost $1,500.
Conversationalists will include Spring Branch district Superintendent Duncan Klussmann, Texas Rep. Ellen Cohen, philanthropist Carolyn Farb, silhouette artist Cindi Harwood Rose, My Table editor Teresa Byrne-Dodge, KTRK-TV Channel 13 sports director Bob Allen, forensic artist Lois Gibson, Project Runway winner Chloe Dao, author Mickey Herskowitz, shoe and handbag designer Elaine Turner, Greater Houston Partnership President and CEO Jeff Moseley, Lakewood Church co-founder Dodie Osteen, Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo CEO and President Skip Wagner and artist Whitney Henderson, among others.
Ticket buyers are being asked to name their top three choices for a conversationalist to dine with, and organizers will try to accommodate their choices.
