Got a huge conference?  The Dallas Convention Center can accommodate you, too, and just as easily.

After all, this is the venue chosen for Super Bowl XLV.

Whatever the size or type of conference/convention/meeting/retreat you are planning, the Dallas Convention Center is the perfect venue.  Almost daily, this venue is host to pretty much any and every kind of gathering you could imagine: shows, plays, music, sports, art, and culture beyond description.  No matter what kind of gathering you have in mind, the Dallas Convention Center can handle it.  This is one of the largest convention centers in the nation.

The Dallas Convention Center has over a million square feet of exhibit space, after all. This includes an arena that seats over nine thousand people, a theater that accommodates almost two thousand people, and nearly a hundred meeting rooms of various types and sizes.

Did I mention that this venue also has the largest column-free exhibit hall in the United States?

There is plenty of easily-accessible parking here, too.  Free parking for the show management team.

The Dallas Convention Center was the first convention center in the world to offer wireless internet services.  It has also been recognized as “The Best-Run Convention Center in America.”

This April, the Dallas Convention Center was awarded the LEEDS EB Silver Certification for its efforts to “be green.”   Interim Director Al Rojas said that The LEED Certification exemplifies our commitment to providing the highest quality space for our customers and employees.  We understand the importance of these efforts which not only lower costs but improve the environment for generations to come.
