How people reach Carrollton
Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) is 15 km (9.3 mi) out — a normal airport transfer, worth an hour in the run of show on the first morning.
Local time is Chicago time (America/Chicago) — set every session time in the app to that zone and let attendees' phones do the conversion.
Lewisville, Richardson and The Colony are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Carrollton has nothing free on your dates.

Things that catch organizers out here
The city is smaller than the market

- activated attendees
- 400activated attendees
- billable, after the first 50 are free
- 350billable, after the first 50 are free
- for the whole event, at $5 each
- $1,750for the whole event, at $5 each

By event type
400 seats is the largest room on record, so Carrollton suits a training programme, a regional chapter meeting or a single-track conference rather than an exhibition.
- trade shows and exhibitions
1 exhibition or convention hall means a booth plan is possible in Carrollton without renting a marquee.
- multi-track conferences
The exhibition space here doubles as plenary space when the floor is cleared.
- association annual meetings
An association meeting needs one big room, several small ones and a hotel block, which is the combination Carrollton is set up for.
- training days and workshops
2 purpose-built function spaces are the easiest kind of room to run a workshop in — the power and the load-in already assume it.
- leadership retreats
Smaller rooms suit a retreat better than a hall does, and Carrollton has them.
