Getting there
Allow half an hour each way to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), 26 km (16 mi) away, and rather more if your first session starts during the morning peak.
It is central, so a hotel block within walking distance is realistic and you can skip a shuttle entirely.
Dallas has 55 venues mapped in total and a population of 1,326,087. The Dallas guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Formats this suits
As a convention centre this is built for floors rather than seats — exhibitions, trade shows and multi-track conferences where the hall is subdivided. Ask for the hall sheet with column spacing and load-in doors before you commit to a booth plan.
- trade shows and exhibitions
Built as a floor rather than a seating plan, which is what an exhibition needs.
- multi-track conferences
The same hall subdivides into tracks once the booths come out.
- career fairs
A booth grid and a single controlled entrance is the whole requirement.
