The 2026 FIFA World Cup is already expected to have $400 million in economic impact on Dallas-Fort Worth, with nine matches scheduled for AT&T Stadium—more than any of the other 15 host venues in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. But Dallas is aiming for even more. The Dallas City Council voted Wednesday to spend up to $15 million in improvements on the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center to help the city's bid to host the World Cup's International Broadcast Center.
The summit is slated to bring together over 1,500 distinguished leaders from both the U.S. and Africa, from both the public and private sectors. African heads of state have traveled to Dallas for the event, along with international investors, senior government officials from the U.S. and Africa, Fortune 500 executives, leading small businesses, and key stakeholders from multilateral organizations, the city said
Returning to the U.S. for the first time in seven years, the Corporate Council on Africa’s annual U.S.-Africa Business Summit will be held at the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center in Dallas. With consumer spending in Africa slated to hit $2 trillion in 2025—and with some of the largest African diasporas living right here in North Texas—the summit could offer "immense business opportunities," the city said.
Dallas' Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center is poised for a mega-makeover via a nearly $2 billion redevelopment. When completed, the expanded convention center will offer 170,000 square feet of ballroom space, 260,000 square feet of meeting rooms, and 800,000 square feet of exhibit space. Not to mention a new deck park over I-30 and attractions like a sprawling roof terrace with jaw-dropping views,
