ENRG HTX - August 2026

ENRG - Entrepreneurial Networking Resource Group - is an EOS Worldwide-aligned community for entrepreneurs running companies with roughly 10 to 250 employees. The Houston chapter, convened by Erick Garcia, Lesa Skipper, and Craig Ceccanti, frames monthly mornings as practical EOS-tool training, peer issue-solving, and operator networking without sales pitches. The August 21, 2026 listing is billed as the Houston chapter’s first meeting, so expect a forming room rather than a decade-old franchise night.

The headcount band is the filter. If you run an EOS or EOS-curious operating company in that 10-to-250 range, peer operators who will work a live business issue are the point. Monthly mornings, not evening mixers: the Houston chapter is using a weekday 90-minute block for EOS-tool training and peer issue-solving. “Without sales pitches” is part of the host framing, which is why a cold vendor walk-in will feel off. Garcia, Skipper, and Ceccanti convening the chapter at The Ion in Midtown (4201 Main Street, downstairs room 028) tells you the room is operator-first and still standing up. TMC clinical density, ACG deal flow, and a pan-Asian membership social are different Houston graphs the same month.

Friday, August 21, 2026, 8:30-10:00 AM CDT at The Ion, downstairs room 028, 4201 Main Street, Houston (Midtown / Ion). Doors are listed around 8:20 AM. Eventbrite notes free parking, and RSVP on Eventbrite is listed as free. Confirm the live Eventbrite page before you drive; first-meeting rooms sometimes shift floors inside the Ion. An 8:20 AM door time still wants buffer, even when parking is called out as free.

First-meeting rooms can still be high signal when the filter is this specific. Operators already running EOS - or seriously EOS-curious - inside the 10-to-250 employee band will recognize a peer-solve morning. Come with one live business issue you can share. Recheck Eventbrite for floor changes inside the Ion before you drive.
