Dallas is the No. 1 visitor destination in Texas and one of the top cities in the nation for meetings and conventions. In addition to having the resources to host major events and conventions, Dallas is a greatly diverse American city and a melting pot of cultures. This important convergence of uniqueness and differences is reflected throughout the sights and sounds of our city. Dallas' authentic arts, music, food, historic landmarks and urban lifestyle all contribute to the city's rich cultural makeup. Let the bold, vibrant spirit of Dallas, with a touch of Texas charm, guide the way to your BIG Dallas moments. Our city is filled with the unique experiences one can only have in Dallas – from cuisine by celebrity chefs, to the cultural landscape in one of the nation’s largest arts districts, to first-class shopping - make the most of your time in our great city! From transportation to hotels, restaurants, retail and entertainment venues, Dallas is ready to roll out our red carpet to host SC18. Again, welcome back to BIG D! Please accept my warmest wishes for an unforgettable event in our city. I know you will enjoy your time here and leave with Dallas in your heart. Thank you, Michael S.
