2026 Conference

October 22, 2026 // Old Parkland

20251030VentureDallasConference-DSC_7200.jpg

New in 2026

A Reimagined Format

More Programming. More Opportunity.

Venture Dallas 2026 is intentionally raising the bar with a conference experience designed to reflect the caliber of the community it serves and the national profile being built for Dallas–Fort Worth.

Multiple Stages. One Connected Ecosystem.

Rather than one continuous agenda, attendees will experience curated industry tracks, concurrent programming across several stages, intimate sessions, and differentiated formats throughout the Old Parkland campus.

An Iconic Setting for Bold Ideas

Known as a place where important conversations happen, Old Parkland's distinctive venues and landscaped grounds create the ideal setting for a more dynamic, curated, and high-impact conference experience.

 

Venture Dallas 2026 places founders, investors, and business leaders in one of the city’s most prestigious environments for connection and discourse — at the heart of Dallas’ family office and investment ecosystem, where many of the region’s investors already live and work.

Getting There

Old Parkland is located at 3819 Maple Avenue (see map).

 

Please note that on-site parking will not be available at the venue. We strongly encourage attendees to use a rideshare service for transportation to and from the event—and our luxury rideshare partner, Alto, is making it even easier.

Compliments of Alto, attendees can enjoy up to $30 in ride credit on October 22, 2026. Use code VENTURE26 to receive $15 off each of two rides.

Alto offers an elevated rideshare experience with professional employee drivers and branded luxury SUVs.

To redeem your credit, open or download the Alto app and enter code VENTURE26 during sign-up or under Promotions in the Profile tab. Once added, the credit will automatically be applied to eligible rides.

Hotel Accommodations

A limited room block has been reserved for Venture Dallas attendees at Virgin Hotels Dallas (see map).

Rooms are available on a first-come, first-served basis. If you use the booking link and no rooms are available, please contact director@venturedallas.org for assistance.
