Convention of Convention Managers Sparks New Business for Dallas

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.

@Tom: Nice one. Not every day you hear a typography joke. Fixed. Thanks.
