Across MLK — conference centers & the McCombs AI school

Step out of Greenwood or Cambridge (1800 / 1801 Lavaca), cross MLK, and you're into UT's business-and-conference corner. Two things there matter to us: real conference/meeting venues open to the public, and McCombs' AI programs — useful both for the business and as a source of clients.

1 · AT&T Hotel & Conference Center open to the public

1900 University Ave, Austin, TX 78705 · ~a few minutes' walk from the Lavaca condos · map

A 4-star hotel and conference facility owned by UT but open to anyone — you don't need a UT tie.

2 · Rowling Hall (McCombs graduate business)

300 W Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Austin, TX 78712 · literally on MLK, the closest of the two to the condos · map

The graduate home of the McCombs School of Business and the base for its executive-education and event programming. It's the building you see first across MLK, and it's where most of the AI-for-business teaching below happens.

3 · The McCombs "AI school" — what it entails clients + skills

McCombs' AI offering isn't one "school" — it's a set of AI-centered business programs. What they are:

Why it matters to us (two angles)

Contact: (512) 471-5921 · McCombs main at 2110 Speedway. Exact program costs, the current AI-course catalog, and start dates need confirming on the McCombs site — flagged for the research hand-off. Separately, UT also runs an online MS in Artificial Intelligence through its computer-science program (not McCombs) that's known for being low-cost — worth a look; verify.
