Top Reasons to Meet in Irving

ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT

Thanks to an infusion of fresh ideas and crowd-pleasing amenities, Irving has quickly become one of Texas’s premiere travel destinations. Large-scale developments continue to add charm and sophistication to this fantastic meeting spot. 

Toyota Music Factory, for example, is one of the most expansive and comprehensive entertainment venues in the country. The $173-million entertainment complex is DFW's newest and boldest entertainment venue. Boasting an incredible array of bars and restaurants and playing host to the best national and international touring music acts, the Toyota Music Factory experience is completely unique and sure to please everyone in your group. Toyota Music Factory represents the second phase of Irving’s vision for a distinctive visitors district.

STUNNING CONVENTION FACILITY

With its futuristic design and high-end finishes, the Irving Convention Center at Las Colinas is functional, aesthetically appealing, cutting-edge, eco-friendly, and inviting. Your attendees will relish spending a few days in this gorgeous space. The facility represents a departure from the traditional, institutional big-box convention centers of other cities, and was designed to create interesting places to interact with colleagues and clients.

The center is divided into three main levels with the 50,000-square-foot, column-free exhibition hall on the first floor. The mezzanine level, located just above the first floor, features a relaxing cafe and outdoor covered terrace with access from both inside and outside the facility. The meeting and junior ballroom level provides 20,000 square feet of meeting space in up to 20 different breakout rooms, each averaging about 1,000 square feet.

MUSIC, THINGS TO DO & EATS

Why Irving for meetings? Because when your team is done strategizing all day, Irving provides the very best entertainment, bars, and restaurants to help them unwind. 

In addition to the Entertainment District, attendees will delight in all of the things Irving has to offer, from plays and live music to exquisite cuisine and arts. At the Irving Arts Center, folks can view new exhibits, tour the sculpture garden, or take in one of the latest performances on one of two stages. And in Irving, no guest goes home hungry—the city has amazing restaurants serving up classic Texas favorites, like BBQ and Tex-Mex, or global culinary hits like Thai and Indian fare.

The nearby Water Street development features new eateries along the shores of Lake Carolyn, bringing more charm and flavor to the visitors district and Mandalay Canal.
