EXCHANGING IDEAS.
INSPIRING DISCUSSION.
IGNITING CHANGE.
Each annual DreamWeek Summit comprises a series

of events designed to celebrate our humanity by
creating environments for civil and civic engagement
while embracing ideas & dreams for the common good.
Events take a variety of forms, from symposiums, panel
discussions and debates to film screenings, concerts
and art exhibits.
Since its inception, DreamWeek has gained

unprecedented momentum. In just over ten years, the
summit annually draws over 100,000 attendees to over
200 events, hosted by more than 150 hosting partners,
throughout the San Antonio area. DreamWeek is
concurrent with the City’s annual MLK Commemorative
March, which has grown to become one of the largest
in the country since the first march in 1987.
