Dallas is a modern metropolis in north Texas and is also its commercial and cultural hub. Forever etched in modern American history as the place where JFK was shot, Dallas is a fascinating place, a land of the cowboys.
Why exhibit there?
Dallas has a rich history rooted in ranching, farming, and oil production and has been growing steadily as a trade center following the introduction of the railroad in 1873.
After WWII, the city became an important business and financial center and is now home to, as the result of a very deliberate effort by regional economic developers to lure companies from other parts of the country, the headquarters of divisions of Toyota and Boeing, and Jamba Juice.
Getting there
Once you land at Dallas Fort Worth Airport, getting downtown is easy via the Dallas Area Rapid Transport (DART) rail service. In fact this is a great way to get around the whole town.

Key tourist hotspots
If you’re in Dallas, you have to go to The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza. It’s a museum dedicated to remembering one of the nation's most tragic and defining moments. Visitors will see the sniper's perch in the corner window from which Oswald took the shots, recreated to match the original photos from the crime scene. The exhibits walk you through the hours following the shooting.
Just minutes from downtown Dallas is the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden. 66 acres along the southeast shore of White Rock Lake.
Restaurants
- Hudson House. Start dinner with East Coast oysters, followed by pan-seared seafood served with the restaurant’s buttery velvet sauce.
- Snooze an A.M Eatery. Enjoy piles of syrup-drenched pancakes along with Dallas’ favorite brunch-time basics: mimosas and bloody marys and eggs.
Bonus round
- Local currency - US dollar.
- Language - English.
- Visa requirements. You will require a visa to enter the USA. What kind that is depends on where you have come from and what you are planning on doing there. The first step you have to take in order to start your US visa application, is to figure out under what kind of visa you are permitted to enter the United States. After you have selected the visa type you need to apply for, you should check the requirements and start gathering the documents that are required for that visa.
- Plug sockets in the USA are the standard two pin plugs.
- Cultural sensitivities. The USA is a real patchwork of cultures, identities and customs, however there aren’t any real cultural sensitivities to be aware of, but points worth noting:
- Most Americans move to a first name basis pretty quickly.
- Americans have no etiquette when it comes to giving and receiving business cards.
- Arrive on time for meetings as time and punctuality are very important to Americans.
- Use statistics to backup your claims - most Americans are impressed by hard data and evidence.
