DreamWeek San Antonio is an annual summit held in San Antonio, Texas, that celebrates ideas and promotes civic engagement, diversity, and the free exchange of thought. It typically spans 16 days in January, leading up to Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and includes a wide variety of events hosted by community partners—such as panel discussions, art exhibits, film screenings, live music, mixers, and workshops.
The goal of DreamWeek is to foster discussions around key themes like tolerance, equality, innovation, and justice, while providing a platform for organizations, individuals, and businesses to connect and collaborate. It’s organized by DreamVoice, the creative engine behind the summit, and encourages residents and visitors alike to explore and contribute to meaningful dialogue in the community.
The DreamHour Speaker Series is a signature event within DreamWeek San Antonio, offering a platform for individuals to share their personal stories, ideas, and reflections on the values of tolerance, equality, and understanding.
Each DreamHour session features a single speaker delivering a 30-45 minute talk, often followed by a Q&A or informal discussion. These talks can cover a wide range of topics—personal journeys, social issues, cultural identity, innovation, justice, community building, and more.
What makes DreamHour unique is its intimate, TED-style format in an cozy neighborhood spot that encourages honest storytelling and meaningful dialogue with the community and its leaders. Speakers come from diverse backgrounds—activists, artists, entrepreneurs, educators, civic leaders—each offering a unique perspective aligned with DreamWeek’s mission of fostering community and the free exchange of ideas.
The summit is a conglomeration of over 200 events. There are the Speaker Series, gallery exhibits, theatre performances, musical performances, film screenings, community forums. skill-building workshops, culinary showcases, networking mixers, luncheons, yoga sessions, marches, and a myriad of volunteer opportunities.
