Dallas Convention Center Visit Plan During the 2026 Rebuild
Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Dallas is at 650 S Griffin St in downtown Dallas. The venue is still hosting events in Buildings A/B and C while Sections D, E and F are decommissioned for the 2030 expansion. The fastest way to avoid a bad trip is to verify whether your event is public, identify the active hall, then choose parking, rideshare or DART from that hall—not from an old campus map.
This guide combines current venue pages, City/DART construction updates and official Hall B/Hall C planning PDFs into one attendee, exhibitor and planner workflow.
The Answers Most Visitors Need First
KBHCCD quick decision dashboard
Reviewed August 18, 2026Main venue phone: (214) 939-2700.
FWC26 International Broadcast Center is active through Aug 24 but marked private.
Dedicated venue page lists Halls A/B/C plus A/C ballrooms and meeting areas.
Per day, per entry. No in/out privileges.
Level 2, Building A/B; 35-ft ceiling; official PDF lists 553 max 10×10 booths.
Level 2, Building C; 31–37-ft ceiling; official PDF lists 541 max 10×10 booths.
Demolition resumed after the FIFA quiet period. A/B/C continue supporting events.
Do not use future renderings as a 2026 wayfinding map.
Trains pass through, but boarding and exiting are not allowed during reconstruction.
Venue lists it as the best accessible drop-off/pick-up; event routing can override.
In-house vendors are cashless; some event exhibitors may separately accept cash.
Confirm public access, exact hall and organizer instructions before choosing your route.
What kind of visitor are you?
Start with public access
Check whether the listing is public, trade-only or private, then confirm ticket/badge rules and the dedicated event page before travel.
Park once
Garage and Lot C charge per entry and offer no in/out. Plan lunch, hotel stops and errands before you enter the lot.
Use Canton Gate instructions
Freight/loading access is not the attendee entrance. Your organizer or general service contractor controls marshaling and move-in timing.
Use current A/B/C inventory
Do not mix 2030 expansion renderings with current room specs. Build from active-space PDFs and current contractual deadlines.
Is there a public event at KBHCCD today?
No public walk-in event is listed for August 18, 2026. The official calendar shows the FWC26 International Broadcast Center running January 14–August 24 and explicitly labels it Private Event – Not Open to the Public.
If you are part of the broadcast operation, use your credentialed instructions. If you are searching for something to attend as a member of the public, the next public venue listing is FAN EXPO Dallas on September 11–13.
Next-public-event shortcut: FAN EXPO’s dedicated venue page lists Exhibit Halls A, B and C, Ballrooms A1–A4 and C1–C4, plus A100/A200/A300/C100 areas. That gives you a much better arrival clue than the venue address alone.
Upcoming events: use the dedicated event page, not only the calendar index
The venue calendar is useful for dates, but a live audit found temporary hall-assignment differences between the calendar index and some dedicated event pages. When the two disagree, use the dedicated event page and organizer as the final room source.
| Date | Event | Dedicated page says | User action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aug 18–24 | FWC26 International Broadcast Center | Private — not open to public | Do not travel for public admission without authorized credentials. |
| Sep 11–13 | FAN EXPO Dallas 2026 | Halls A/B/C + A/C ballrooms and meeting areas | Check ticket, opening time, badge/entry and current map. |
| Sep 15–16 | Future of Work USA | Ballroom C1–C4, C100, Lower C Lobby | Use the dedicated page even if the calendar index shows another hall. |
| Sep 16–17 | IntraLogisteX Dallas | Exhibit Hall B | Trade attendees should verify registration and Hall B entrance. |
| Sep 24–26 | Taiwan EXPO USA | Exhibit Hall C | Use Building C arrival/Lower C information where appropriate. |
| Sep 26–27 | Oddities & Curiosities Expo | Exhibit Hall B | Check ticket, entry time and event-specific prohibited items. |
| Oct 24–25 | Collect-A-Con Dallas | Exhibit Hall B | Verify public hours, ticket rules and Hall B access before parking. |
Why this matters: as of this audit, the index and dedicated pages do not agree on every September room assignment. Treat the dedicated event page as the stronger room-level signal and recheck close to your date.
Food, pets, cosplay props, bags and payment: avoid the entrance surprise
The venue has a few facility-wide rules, but it does not publish one universal bag-size rule for every organizer. That distinction matters.
| Item | Current venue rule | What you should do |
|---|---|---|
| Outside food/drink | Not allowed by the venue. | Check medical/dietary accommodation needs with the organizer before arrival. |
| Pets | Pets are not allowed; service animals are welcome under ADA guidance. | Do not assume emotional-support/companion animals are treated as service animals. |
| Cosplay weapons / props | Must be inspected at the Costume Weapons Check Desk; projectile props must be inoperable; costume swords must be secured so they cannot be drawn. | Allow inspection time and read the specific event policy because police/organizer rules can change. |
| Bags | No single facility-wide size published on the current attendee FAQ. | Use your organizer’s bag/security rule; do not borrow a size from another event. |
| Venue purchases | Facility and in-house vendors are cashless. | Bring card/mobile wallet plus a backup card; some exhibitors may separately take cash. |
| Event ticket/badge | Organizer-specific. | Screenshot the ticket/QR and save badge-pickup instructions before downtown signal/crowd friction. |
Construction and renovation: what is open now versus planned for 2030
August 2026 construction update: the City master-plan site says demolition activity has resumed after the FIFA World Cup quiet period and warns that post-FIFA traffic patterns and road closures may change around the site.
The current venue floor-plan page says Sections D, E and F are decommissioned on the west side. Sections A, B and C remain open during various phases to support ongoing events. A City news release also confirms demolition of D/E/F while A/B/C continue operating.
| Question | Current 2026 venue | Future plan | Visitor meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Event buildings | A/B/C remain in use during phases | Reimagined convention campus | Use current organizer/floor-plan material for any 2026 event. |
| Decommissioned | D/E/F | Replaced/reconfigured through expansion | Old D/E/F maps can send you to a construction area. |
| Current programmable event space | 761,170 sq ft | Not the future total | Current venue stats and future renderings describe different facilities. |
| Current exhibit space | 529,250 sq ft venue-wide | 750,000 sq ft planned | For 2026, use active Hall A/B/C specs. |
| Future total building | — | 2.1 million sq ft | Useful for planning the future, not current attendee wayfinding. |
| Future meeting space | 64 current meeting rooms | 180,000 sq ft planned | Room names/sizes may change in the new facility. |
| Future ballroom | Two current ballrooms | 105,000 sq ft planned signature ballroom | Do not use future ballroom graphics for current sessions. |
| Grand opening | Construction underway | 2030 planned | Recheck the master plan for traffic/closure changes before future trips. |
A useful state-filing detail: the Omni/Hall C connector is part of enabling works
A Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation enabling-works filing describes demolition of Halls D/E/F and the Vertiport while preserving and enclosing the pedestrian connector between the Omni and Hall C. Treat that as project-scope information—not a guarantee that a particular pedestrian route is open on your event date. Follow current venue/event wayfinding.
Hall B vs Hall C: the current 2026 specs visitors and exhibitors actually need
The venue’s current one-page Hall B and Hall C PDFs give more useful detail than the high-level floor-plan page. Both halls are Level 2 spaces, but their shape, ceiling height, booth count and dock arrangement differ.
| Specification | Exhibit Hall B | Exhibit Hall C | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Building / level | Building A/B • Level 2 | Building C • Level 2 | Determines the correct lobby/arrival side. |
| Area | 100,155 sq ft / 9,305 sq m | 103,940 sq ft / 9,656 sq m | Hall C is slightly larger by area. |
| Published capacity | 8,015 | 8,394 | Actual event setup can lower usable capacity. |
| Overall dimensions | 330.0 × 303.5 ft | 225.0 × 407.5 ft | Different footprints affect aisle/booth layouts and walking. |
| Ceiling height | 35 ft | 31–37 ft | Important for exhibit design, signage and production planning. |
| Floor load | 350 psf | 350 psf | Critical for heavy exhibits/equipment; planners still need approval. |
| 10×10 booth maximum | 553 | 541 | Published planning maximum is not the same as your show’s actual booth count. |
| Dock labels shown | 4A, 4B, 5B | 5, 7 | Exhibitors must follow organizer/GSC dock assignments, not self-route. |
Attendee rule: “Hall B/C” is not one combined room. Hall B points you to Building A/B; Hall C points you to Building C. Save the exact hall and lobby before you pick parking or rideshare.
Parking: $20 garage, $17 Lot C, and no in/out
ACE Parking manages the two on-site options currently listed on the dedicated venue parking page. That current parking page should override older attendee FAQ text or old PDFs that mention other lot inventories.
| Option | Rate | Where to navigate | Capacity | Best use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| On-site parking garage | $20 per day / per entry | Memorial Dr & S Griffin St | 1,200 spaces • Levels G & P | Main on-site driver option; accessible parking available. |
| Lot C | $17 per day / per entry | 502 S Lamar St | 170 spaces | Surface-lot option; accessible parking available. |
| Nearby downtown parking | Operator/event-specific | Varies | Varies | Backup only after checking closing time, event rates and your active building. |
No in/out: leaving for lunch, a hotel stop or an errand can mean paying again when you return. If you are staying all day, park once and walk when practical.
What the older Event Resource Guide adds—and how to use it safely
The 2024 guide is still linked by the current planner page and is useful for operational context, but it says the website is the current source. Its parking/move-in guidance includes no overnight parking on KBHCCD property, no parking/loading on plazas or sidewalks, designated motorcycle parking, and event-specific handling for larger vehicles. For current rates and currently offered lots, use the dedicated 2026 parking page above.
DART: Convention Center Station is closed during reconstruction
DART closed Convention Center Station in January 2026. Trains continue through the station, but passengers cannot board or exit there. DART says the station will reopen after convention-center construction.
| Your situation | Current answer | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| You planned to exit at Convention Center Station | Do not use it for boarding/exiting. | Re-plan around EBJ Union, Cedars, GoLink or current bus stops. |
| GoLink connector | Serves EBJ Union, Cedars, Marilla @ Akard and points in the zone. | Book in GoPass or use current DART instructions. |
| Routes 128 / 106 | DART closure guidance uses Akard & Marilla layover. | Check same-day route alerts before departure. |
| Route 224 | Closure guidance routes it through CBD East Transfer Center. | Do not rely on an old Convention Center Station bus bay. |
| Rideshare | Lower C Driveway is the venue’s preferred accessible point. | Use it unless your event publishes another pickup/drop-off plan. |
Dallas Love Field: use current Route 5, not the stale Route 524 text
Current DART airport guidance uses Route 5 Love Link between Dallas Love Field and Inwood/Love Field Station, with Green and Orange Line connections. The venue’s older attendee FAQ still references Bus Route 524, so use DART’s current airport page as the source of truth.
DFW International Airport
The venue describes DFW as roughly a 30-minute drive in general conditions, but traffic and construction can change that substantially. DART’s Orange Line serves DFW Airport Terminal A; because Convention Center Station is closed, plan the final downtown segment using current DART options rather than an old one-seat station assumption.
Address, map and the final-block decision
Use the map for broad routing. Your event hall and construction routing should decide the final entrance, parking destination or Lower C drop-off.
Choose a hotel by your active hall, not only by map distance
The official visitor page says 15,000+ hotel rooms are available in the walkable downtown Dallas core. The 1,001-room Omni Dallas Hotel is adjacent to KBHCCD, making it the simplest starting point for attendees who value the shortest campus connection.
| Stay type | Best for | Check before booking | Common mistake |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adjacent Omni Dallas | Early sessions, exhibitors, speakers, mobility needs, weather-sensitive trips | Event block, overnight parking, exact current campus route | Assuming “adjacent” means every room/hall is a one-minute walk. |
| Walkable downtown hotel | Dining, business trips, multi-day conventions | Walking route to Building A/B or C, luggage storage, late checkout | Booking only by center-point distance. |
| Transit/rideshare-based hotel | Lower room rate or broader Dallas trip | DART closure impact, rideshare surge, late-night return | Counting on closed Convention Center Station. |
| Airport-area hotel | Very early flight or short overnight | Downtown travel time, parking, first session time | Saving on room price but losing time/parking money each day. |
Do not hard-code hotel prices into a venue guide. Rates change by event, room type and date. Compare the event hotel block, cancellation policy, parking and the walking route to your actual hall.
How to find current Dallas convention-center photos without confusing them with 2030 renderings
The official media gallery separates current photos into Exterior, Building A/B and Building C. It includes Hall B, A/B lobbies, Ballroom A, C Lobby, Ballroom C, Lower C and C100 areas. The venue also provides a 360° virtual tour of available spaces.
Recognize the building
Use current A/B and C photos when you want to understand the lobby or hall you will actually visit.
Preview room flow
Useful for first-time attendees and planners who want a better sense of the available current spaces.
Future only
Use master-plan images for the new-facility vision, not for current entry or Hall B/C directions.
Credit the source
The venue says gallery images may be used with proper credit. Follow the media-kit instructions if publishing them.
Cashless payments, Wi-Fi, food, ATMs, nursing pods and lost & found
| Need | Current venue detail | Practical action |
|---|---|---|
| Payment | Cashless facility and in-house vendors; some event exhibitors may accept cash | Bring card/mobile wallet and a backup method. |
| ATMs | Level 2 A Lobby and Level 2 C Lobby | Useful only if a separate exhibitor takes cash; venue purchases remain cashless. |
| Wi-Fi | Free in common areas and meeting rooms; network “Free Internet” | Normal attendee use is fine; booth-critical connectivity should use exhibitor technology services. |
| Nursing/pumping | Two Mamava pods: Level 2 A Lobby by Arena; Level 2 C Lobby by Kay’s Place/Go Natural | Ask staff for the quickest route from your hall. |
| Food/concessions | Sodexo Live! concessions; hours/options vary by event | Check your event schedule before relying on a short lunch window. |
| Kay’s Place | Level 2 C Lobby; coffee/tea/espresso/snacks/pastries | Useful for Building C visitors; hours can change. |
| Go Natural | Level 2 C Lobby; sandwiches, wraps, salads, some GF/vegetarian options | For strict dietary needs, verify the current menu rather than assuming availability. |
| Business center | No on-site business center; adjacent Omni has a UPS Business Center | Print critical documents before arrival when possible. |
| Lost & found | Venue uses Boomerang | Check event desk first, then submit event/date/hall/item details through the official report. |
Accessible parking, Lower C drop-off, elevators and event-specific assistance
KBHCCD says it provides permanent ADA access accommodations. The organizer is responsible for certain non-permanent event accommodations such as hearing/visual aids, temporary accessible seating and interpreters.
Accessibility feedback: the venue lists 469-580-8118 and kbhccd-info@oakviewgroup.com. If you need an interpreter, assistive device or temporary seating arrangement, contact the event organizer as well.
Exhibitor arrival: Canton Gate is not the attendee entrance
The current exhibitor FAQ says your event organizer and general service contractor are the primary sources for show-specific move-in. For GPS to the Canton Gate loading dock entrance, the venue lists 1225 Canton St, Dallas, TX 75202.
| Task | Venue rule/detail | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Freight marshaling | Organizer/GSC controls instructions | Do not self-route a truck based on public parking. |
| Loading dock GPS | 1225 Canton St | Use only with your move-in credentials/time window. |
| Island-booth service plan | Submit service-location floor plan at least 30 days before first move-in | Coordinate with organizer and approved providers. |
| Electrical | Must be ordered through event-selected approved provider | Do not plug booth equipment into random existing outlets. |
| Floor-pocket power | Up to 100 AMP service can be provided at exhibit-hall floor pockets | Order the exact service required through the exhibitor kit. |
| Generators | Outside generators prohibited | Plan electrical requirements through approved services. |
| Rigging | GSC-managed, KBHCCD advance approval and inspection; fees apply | Do not assume a ceiling drop is automatically approved. |
| Show-floor service desk | Organizer/GSC decides whether one exists | Save contractor contact before move-in. |
Planner deadlines and operating rules that are easy to miss
The current planner FAQ provides the strongest live rules for deposits, security and building hours. The venue’s 2024 Event Resource Guide adds operational planning detail and explicitly says it is subject to change—so the current website wins if there is a conflict.
Contract, security and planning deadlines
| When | Requirement | Source status | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| At contract execution | 25% of minimum space rental due | Current planner FAQ | Build deposit into approval/cash-flow timing. |
| 60 days before move-in | Rental balance + certificate of insurance due | Current planner FAQ | Do not treat event week as the insurance deadline. |
| 45 days before first move-in | Event requirements: floor plans, schedules, production, room setup, vendors, other details | 2024 linked Event Resource Guide | Use Event Manager timeline if it gives a newer/specific deadline. |
| 45 days before move-in/start | Banner/advertising plan and certain graphics approvals | 2024 linked guide | Unapproved signage can create fees/damage problems. |
| 30 days before first move-in | Detailed security plan | Current planner FAQ | Must list staffing, dates, times and assigned locations. |
| 90 days before event | Contact marketing manager for paid advertising opportunities | Current planner FAQ | Useful when sponsorship/venue media is part of the campaign. |
HVAC and temperature: a practical budget detail from the resource guide
The linked guide says exhibit-hall heating/cooling is provided during show hours, rehearsals and in-hall registration for up to 16 hours per day. It lists a default event temperature range of 68–72°F, says noticeable temperature changes may take up to two hours, and says exhibit-hall HVAC during move-in/move-out or beyond included hours can be charged at prevailing rates. Confirm current charges with your Event Manager.
Five-minute anti-idling and other operational details
Food, water and special effects
Current planner guidance says outside food and beverages are prohibited, Sodexo Live! is the exclusive food/beverage provider, food sampling may require health permits, and water coolers are placed in meeting-room corridors and outside A/C ballrooms when used as meeting space—not in exhibit halls. Pyrotechnics, lasers, open flame or other special effects may require special permits and extra fire personnel.
Who owns the venue, who operates it, and what certifications are current?
KBHCCD is owned by the City of Dallas and managed day-to-day by Oak View Group. The City’s Convention and Event Services department manages the City contract with OVG.
City of Dallas
Public ownership is confirmed by the venue and City Convention and Event Services sources.
Oak View Group
OVG handles day-to-day convention-center operations under the City-managed contract.
LEED-EB
Current planner FAQ describes KBHCCD as LEED-EB certified.
ISO 14001
The same current venue FAQ confirms ISO 14001 certification.
Schema rule applied: the venue itself is modeled as an EventVenue; City of Dallas is a separate GovernmentOrganization owner. No fake rating, no LocalBusiness, no duplicate generic Place, and no unverified coordinates are added.
Common Dallas convention-center problems and the fastest fix
| Problem | Likely cause | What to do now |
|---|---|---|
| You searched “events today” but cannot find a public ticket | The active FWC26 listing is private | Do not travel for walk-in admission; use the next public event listing. |
| The calendar index and event page show different halls | Room assignment/index data may be temporarily out of sync | Use the dedicated event detail page and organizer as the final hall source. |
| Your map sends you to Convention Center Station | Map/search data may lag DART closure | Use current DART closure/GoLink guidance. |
| Your floor plan includes D/E/F | It is likely old/pre-construction | Use current A/B/C floor-plan materials. |
| You left parking and want to return | No in/out privileges | Expect a new entry/payment; park once when practical. |
| You see a different parking price in an old PDF/snippet | Source is stale or event-specific | Use current dedicated parking page and posted rate at entry. |
| Your Love Field instructions say Route 524 | Venue attendee FAQ is stale on this point | Use current DART Route 5 Love Link guidance. |
| Your “Hall B/C” image looks futuristic | It may be a 2030 rendering | Use current Hall B/Hall C PDFs for 2026 events. |
| You arrive with booth freight at the attendee door | Freight route was not checked | Follow organizer/GSC instructions and Canton Gate only when directed. |
| You need an interpreter or temporary accessible seating | Those can be organizer responsibilities | Contact the event organizer before arrival in addition to venue accessibility. |
