Event planners in Dallas work across downtown, Uptown, the Arts District, Deep Ellum and Las Colinas, with Fort Worth and North Texas ranches within easy driving range.

Venues and event infrastructure

The Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Dallas lists 529,250 square feet of exhibit space, and a redevelopment is underway. Downtown and Uptown hotels, the Arts District, private dining rooms and ranch venues outside the city suit smaller groups.

Getting there

Dallas has two major airports. DFW International (DFW) sits between Dallas and Fort Worth, and DART's Orange Line runs from DFW to downtown Dallas in roughly 45 to 60 minutes. Dallas Love Field (DAL) is closer to the city center.

Moving the group and accessibility

DART light rail links downtown, the Arts District and Las Colinas, but distances across the metro are long, so coaches handle most airport transfers, offsite dinners and trips to Fort Worth or ranches.

Weather and best seasons

Normal highs at DFW are about 76°F in April, 84°F in May and 78°F in October. July highs average about 96°F, so summer programs work best indoors. January highs average about 57°F.

Events to run here

Sales kickoffs, conferences, leadership offsites, incentive programs and holiday parties all fit. Activities include Arts District tours, Deep Ellum dinners and live music, ranch evenings, golf and day trips to the Fort Worth Stockyards.
