Dallas Named Number 4 Top Meeting Destination in North America by Cvent

Dallas, Texas – May 14, 2024 – Today, Dallas was named the Number 4 Top Meeting Destination in North America by industry-leading meetings, events, and hospitality technology provider, Cvent. The globally recognized Cvent Top Meeting Destinations lists evaluate and rank cities that are successfully engaging event planners and attracting group business to their locales. Rankings are determined based on sourcing activity through the Cvent Supplier Network, one of the world’s largest venue-sourcing platforms. This is the highest rank Dallas has ever been recognized as a Cvent Top Destination.

“We want to congratulate Dallas for being recognized as a Cvent Top Meeting Destination in North America. This prestigious accolade is a testament to the city’s commitment to partnering with hoteliers and event planners alike to orchestrate exceptional events,” said Bharet Malhotra, Cvent Senior Vice President, Hospitality Cloud. “Given the tremendous value that meetings and events bring to local economies, it’s more important than ever that convention & visitors bureaus and destination management companies embrace their role as destination advocates to attract group business to their locales.
