Getting attendees to Grapevine
Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) sits 6 km (3.7 mi) from the centre, close enough that a same-day arrival is realistic for most of your speakers.
Local time is Chicago time (America/Chicago) — set every session time in the app to that zone and let attendees' phones do the conversion.
Flower Mound, Euless and Bedford are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Grapevine has nothing free on your dates.

Worth knowing before you sign
The city is smaller than the market
51,320 people live in Grapevine itself, but about 8.3 million live in the wider Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX. Your local audience is far bigger than the city line suggests, and so is the commute your day-rate attendees will make.
A worked example, sized to Grapevine
Suppose 950 attendees claim their invite and open the app at a Grapevine event sized to Dragon Stadium, Southlake, the largest stated capacity in the Grapevine dataset. Here is exactly what event67 charges, with the free 50 taken off the top.
- activated attendees
- 950activated attendees
- billable, after the first 50 are free
- 900billable, after the first 50 are free
- for the whole event, at $5 each
- $4,500for the whole event, at $5 each
You are billed for people, not for the venue, so the room you choose in Grapevine does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.
Which kind of event this suits
With a stated ceiling of 11,000 seats, Grapevine can carry a full trade show or a multi-track annual meeting without splitting the audience across buildings.
- trade shows and exhibitions
1 exhibition or convention hall means a booth plan is possible in Grapevine without renting a marquee.
- multi-track conferences
A 11,000-seat room carries a plenary with breakouts running alongside it.
- association annual meetings
An association meeting needs one big room, several small ones and a hotel block, which is the combination Grapevine is set up for.
- festivals
An arena or stadium floor at 11,000 takes an audience no conference venue in Grapevine can.
- sports tournaments
The same rooms already run fixtures, so load-in and crowd flow are solved.
