Access and arrival
24 km (15 mi) separates McFarlin Memorial Auditorium from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.
7.1 km (4.4 mi) from the centre puts this outside comfortable walking range of any hotel district, so the shuttle is part of the event rather than an extra.
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.
The kind of event it takes
Programme this as a theatre, because that is what it is. One track, one stage, an audience facing the same way and 2,386 of them. Catering and breakouts need a second space nearby.
- award ceremonies
Fixed seating, sightlines and a lighting rig are the hard parts, and they are already here.
- product launches
A single-track room with a real stage is the right shape for a launch.
- multi-track conferences
Works as a plenary house with breakouts booked elsewhere in the city.
