CONFERENCE
2023
ANNUAL
Welcome to Dallas!
Planning your trip to the 2023 NRPA Annual Conference
By Chris Brummett
I
ts residents like to say, " Everything is bigger in Texas, " which is one
of the many reasons why the 2023 NRPA Annual Conference will
take place in Dallas, October 10-12. As the fourth largest metropolitan
area and ninth largest city in the United States, Dallas will keep
you entertained and engaged when you're outside the walls of the Kay
Bailey Hutchison Convention Center.
Dallas features a lot more than
brisket, cowboys and frozen margaritas
- although, as the home of
the creator of the frozen margarita
machine, there are plenty of those.
What started as a modest city in
1856, just 11 years after the United
States annexed the Republic of
Texas, quickly became a business
and trading center by the end of
the century and hasn't let up since.
Nowadays, " Big D " is home to
a handful of professional sports
teams, 11 Fortune 500 companies,
and more than 41 colleges and
universities. It also was named the
fifth most diverse city in the United
States by WalletHub in 2018 and
was Bon Appétit's Restaurant City
of the Year in 2019.
If you haven't already, register
for the 2023 NRPA Annual Conference
so you can join us and take
advantage of all that NRPA and
Dallas offer.
Dallas is home to a handful of
professional sports teams, 11 Fortune
500 companies, and more than 41
colleges and universities.
