دالاس توافق على خطة مركز دالاس للمؤتمرات الجديد

Feb. 11, 2022 – DALLAS – Visit Dallas is excited to announce that Dallas city council has approved plans for a new 2.5-million-square-foot convention center located adjacent to the current Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Dallas. The new center will feature 800,000 square feet of exhibit space and 400,000 square feet of breakout space, including a 100,000-square-foot ballroom. Construction on the $2 billion center is expected to begin in 2024 with completion in 2029.

"This news is a game-changer for Dallas and will put our city on the map as the preeminent large-city convention and meeting destination in the nation," said Craig Davis, Visit Dallas President & CEO. "The center will be the anchor for a lively new Convention Center District that will excite convention goers and revitalize southern Downtown Dallas, making it a place for locals to enjoy alongside our convention attendees."

سيضم مركز المؤتمرات المزمع إنشاؤه قاعات احتفالات كبيرة ومرتفعة مع شرفات خارجية للفعاليات تطل على نهر ترينيتي ووسط مدينة دالاس. سوف يستقبل المدخل والبهو الترحيبي رواد المؤتمرات ويوفر مساحة للأنشطة والبرامج.

ستربط منطقة مركز المؤتمرات المحيطة بوسط مدينة دالاس بالمناطق الترفيهية المجاورة، مثل منطقة سيدارز ومنطقة السكك الحديدية المخطط لها، مما يخلق وجهة يمكن التنزه فيها مصممة لجذب السكان المحليين والزوار على حد سواء. ستكون منطقة مركز المؤتمرات بمثابة تجربة حضرية أصيلة في دالاس ستشمل المطاعم ومتاجر التجزئة وأماكن الإقامة وخيارات الترفيه.

"This new building and surrounding development are exactly what our customers need and have been asking for," said D. Bradley Kent, Visit Dallas SVP and Chief Sales Officer. "Dallas is already a great meetings and conventions destination, with the accessibility of two major airports, affordable labor and an outstanding hotel product. The new center and Convention Center District will enhance Dallas' competitive position and put us on par with other destinations that have already invested in their buildings."

سوف يلبي مركز المؤتمرات الجديد احتياجات منظمي الاجتماعات الحديثة، حيث سيوفر قاعة احتفالات ومساحة استراحة كانت دالاس تفتقر إليها. ومن المتوقع أن يضاعف المركز عدد الحضور السنوي تقريباً والإيرادات المرتبطة به للمدينة.

"The expansion of the convention center will give us the opportunity to consider Dallas as a destination for our future annual meetings," said Jennifer Krsanac, CMP, Director of Meeting Services for North American Spine Society. "Without the new expansion, the convention center did not provide our meeting ample space and adequate flow for our meeting attendees. I am excited to follow this project and its positive impact on the city of Dallas and the future of the meeting industry."
