“I attended the Tom Ferry Convention here, and the convention center is huge and very well organized. The space is modern and set up to handle thousands of people, with great staff keeping things running smoothly. The location is super convenient — right in downtown Dallas, connected to hotels and close to plenty of restaurants. The only downside I noticed was that some of the bathrooms weren’t as clean as expected during such a big event. Other than that,…”

“Pretty nice place, although can be confusing and a little dirty in places. I believe it is being torn down for very much needed renovations. Went for a robotics tournament and it was satisfactory, friendly staff. Although they don’t allow outside food/drink for some reason and have the audacity to charge an extreme amount for pretty bad food. Vendors need some improvement. Would give it three stars, although there was a chick-fil-a so automatic +1 star”

“Sadly.... the worst place to have your event, for many reasons: 1) The underground parking typically has ONE singular exit open [imagine 2,000 cars trying to exit after an event through one exit] 2) No nearby eats; outside of the Omni next door, the location is NOT near any decent restaurants 3) Lack of elevators - imagine 5,000 people leaving an event about the same time, most of them trying to get down to the underground parking area... on two elevators …”

“This convention center is a great to hold an expo or large scaled event. During FanExpo 2026, the HVAC system was either not working or off. The temperature in the convention hall was ridiculously hot. To the point that we went to the main halls and some do the bathrooms to get a temperature change. Not sure what’s going on here but man it was a rough time for sure. Need to either figure what’s going on in the convention space or fix the HVAC.”
