International Attendees Information & Tickets
Global Procurement, Supply Chain AI and Logistics Summit 2025
International Attendees
Dallas, Texas is a metropolitan city in the north of the state that offers the perfect blend of the contemporary and the cultural. The city has a huge art and music scene, but is also a place of historical significance, following the assassination of John F. Kennedy on a visit here in 1963, putting Dallas in the international spotlight.
Those fascinated by Dallas’ history will find plenty to do here, as will anyone with a love of sports and the arts. Quirky, vibrant and trendy are just some of the words regularly used to describe the city.
