The Connection Table: Relationship Capital In Action

SEPTEMBER 24, 2026
THE CONNECTION TABLE: RELATIONSHIP CAPITAL IN ACTION
Activation Table | 11:30 a.m.–1:00 p.m.

The Connection Table is an intentional luncheon series at The Dune Room where business owners, nonprofit leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs and community builders gather for meaningful conversation, shared learning and authentic connection. More than a networking event, it is a living laboratory for human connection—designed to help relationships grow into trust, collaboration and opportunity, one conversation at a time.

Relationship capital becomes powerful when we put it into action. During this interactive Activation Table, guests will explore practical ways to support, introduce and create meaningful opportunities for one another.

Through guided conversation and a hands-on activity, you’ll identify what you can offer, where you may need support and what realistic next step could move a relationship forward. The goal is not to collect contacts. It is to create one real connection and one clear next step.

REGISTRATION INFORMATION
Registration is $30 and includes lunch, a beverage and the Connection Table program. Seating is limited to 50 registered guests.

During registration, please select your preferred menu item in the meal-selection section. If you are registering more than one person, choose one meal for each guest. Selecting meals in advance helps The Dune Room prepare and allows the program to begin on time.

STAYING CONNECTED
All guests are asked to add their name to the sign-in sheet so we can accurately record attendance. Providing your organization, email address or phone number is completely optional.

Attendees who provide an email address will receive a follow-up message containing the contact information voluntarily shared by other participants. A copy will also be provided to The Connection Table event organizers. Only information voluntarily entered on the sign-in sheet will be shared.

THE ANIMEROS w/ Cálmala

Sister Midnight Presents The Animeros at Dune Room on October 2.
with Special Guests Cálmala

With musical notes that span well beyond genres like bolero, psychedelic, and cumbia, The Animeros not only make their audience hit the dance floor, but they also invite their listeners and tastemakers alike to a glimpse of their rich cultural upbringing.

The group who is made up of Nick Tozzo (drummer and percussionist), Nicolas Sanchez (bassist), and Mauro Lopez (guitarist) craft a genre-blending sound that drifts between the lush jungles of Colombia, the palm-lined streets of 1960s coastal Mexico, and the dusty cantinas of West Texas.

Sanchez’s Colombian roots, growing up listening to his parents’ beloved salsa and cumbia; Lopez’s parents’ Mexican and American discography, which spanned from traditional Tejano to improvised jazz; and Tozzo’s love for jazz and salsa music, the latter stemming from his college years, leading him to study and live in Colombia to experience music greats first-handedly. All of this, paired with their undeniable chemistry and meshed with their now hometown Austin’s innovative creative sounds has led them to create the unique sonic movement that is The Animeros, a name inspired by Colombian shamans who would usher lost souls to their peace.

Their journey took an unexpected turn when their music reached the ears of Dan Auerbach, the Grammy Award winning producer, songwriter, and frontman of The Black Keys. Auerbach first heard them by chance, music floating from an open hotel window that stopped him in his tracks. Captivated, he made a note to track them down, and within a year, that chance encounter led to something bigger. Now signed to Auerbach’s Easy Eye Sound label, The Animeros are preparing to release their debut album next year, produced exclusively by Auerbach himself.

“I feel like it’s only a matter of time for these guys and for the music that they play. All they have to do is be themselves,” Auerbach said about the trio. “They’re playing the kind of music that they can play forever until they’re 100 years old because it’s rooted in history, but it’s very much in the present.”

“When we first talked, one of the things was our love for the nuance in Latin music,” Lopez shared. “That’s what initially drew ourselves to each other… That’s like a language among musicians.” Tozzo also talked about their shared musical bond: “What makes our chemistry special is that even if one of us has just a glimpse of an idea, together we can take that and really create something out of it.” “That encyclopedia of [music] knowledge everyone brings…That’s what’s really appealing about this project. It’s not just surface level. Everybody’s going pretty deep on it,” Sanchez added.

The Animeros are on the cusp of reaching new audiences all over the globe. More singles are coming with a new album on the way in 2026 via Easy Eye Sound.
