Set in the heart of Houston, Armadillo Palace offers a one-of-a-kind venue for the Houston MedTech Rodeo—blending authentic Texas charm with flexible event space perfect for panels, networking, and celebration.
Part honky-tonk, part Texas history museum, Armadillo Palace features indoor and outdoor spaces that accommodate everything from intimate fireside chats to high-energy panel sessions. With rustic wood finishes, live music vibes, and legendary food it creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere that’s ideal for sparking conversation and connection.
Located just minutes from the Texas Medical Center and Rice University, it’s a natural gathering place for MedTech professionals. Whether you're sipping a cocktail under the antler chandeliers or swapping ideas in the open-air backyard, Armadillo Palace captures the spirit of Houston—bold, collaborative, and unapologetically Texan.
Conference Attire:
No Suits, Just Boots!
Think of this as your permission slip to have fun with your look while still keeping it conference‑ready. Jeans and boots are absolutely fair game, whether you go classic cowboy, polished Western chic, or just add a subtle nod with a belt buckle or denim jacket.
If you’re more of a business‑casual person, no worries — throw on a blazer with a Western twist, swap your sneakers for boots, or add a hat if you’re feeling bold.
When everyone leans into the theme, the whole event feels more connected, more fun, and unmistakably Texas.
