Mayor’s Economic Development Roundtable 

The Sherman Mayor’s Economic Development Roundtable brings together business leaders, community members, and stakeholders each year at Kidd Key Auditorium to discuss the present and future economic state of Sherman. This annual gathering has featured impressive keynote speakers including Texas Governor Greg Abbott in 2023 and Fox News host Will Cain in 2025, along with fireside chats with industry leaders like Juan-Carlos Ruck, EVP of H-E-B’s Northwest Food/Drug/Retail Division. 

Cadence Studios has been the exclusive AV partner for this event, ensuring every presentation, discussion, and announcement reaches the packed auditorium with crystal-clear precision.

As Sherman continues its transformation from a city of promised growth to one experiencing real economic development—from major tech investments to the arrival of H-E-B—the Roundtable has become essential for keeping residents informed and engaged. Some years require us to focus on capturing intimate fireside chats with state leaders, ensuring every word of policy discussion is heard throughout the historic auditorium. 

High-profile economic development events always present unique challenges, and the Mayor’s Roundtable is no exception. From managing audio for both formal presentations and firesize chats, to coordinating lighting that works for video recording while creating the right atmosphere for a morning business event, our team brings the experience and equipment needed to execute flawlessly. When you’re hosting the Governor of Texas or national media personalities, there’s no room for technical difficulties—backup systems, experienced technicians, and meticulous planning are essential.
