Convention of Convention Managers Sparks New Business for Dallas

By Tim Rogers |

An alert FrontBurnervian attended the Dallas Assembly luncheon today and has this to report about the apparent success of the recently concluded Professional Convention Management Association shindig in Dallas:

Mayor Leppert spoke to the Dallas Assembly at lunch today, saying that as a result of the convention planners coming to town the other day, the bureau has already booked 30 new conventions worth about $65 million. Not bad, eh?

I’ll ask the CVB if they can release a list of those 30 new conventions and get back to you.
