Sarkisian's first stop will be this Wednesday at the Touchdown Club in Houston. The event, which has become a regular feature on Sarkisian's May calendar, will be held at the Bayou City Event Center. Inside Texas will be covering this event in earnest. Click here for more information on how to participate.
In previous years, Sarkisian would follow the Texas Exes event, but that won't be the case this year. But he plans to speak with some influential Longhorns in mid-May as part of the Texas One Fund's marquee event.
On Saturday, May 18, country superstar Ryan Bingham and the dynamic duo Brooks and Dunn will join Texas One at Campbell Williams Field at Darrell K. Royal Texas Memorial Stadium. Performed at the fund charity event “A Night for Texas”.
Mr. Sarkisian also plans to meet with many people from the Austin business scene. Tito's Vodka will be the title sponsor and C3 Presents will be the event management company.

Part of the summer tour is a coach's clinic. In his first year as head coach, Sarkisian spoke virtually at the Angelo Football Clinic in San Angelo. He was also a featured speaker at the 2021 and 2023 Texas High School Coaches Association Conventions.

June will be consumed with hiring, hiring, and more hiring. And in mid-July, Sarkisian will travel to Dallas, Texas, as part of the 2024 SEC Media Days. The SEC has invaded Big 12 territory so far and will host media day at the Omni in downtown Dallas.
