2026 Annual Meeting
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2026 | DALLAS OMNI HOTEL
Since 1946, GDPC has brought together business, civic and community leaders to discuss the issues, opportunities and challenges shaping our region. As North Texas grows from approximately 8 million residents today to an estimated 12 million by 2050, the need for collaboration, long-range planning and thoughtful leadership has never been greater.
Our anniversary isn't just a celebration of what GDPC has accomplished over the past eight decades – it's a commitment to continuing to advocate, educate and plan for a stronger North Texas for generations to come.
Due to strong interest in downtown Dallas's future, we've reimagined this year's program:
A Breakfast Networker, and 3 Forums on the Future of Downtown Dallas
FORUM I
Focused and Collaborative Downtown Architecture, Engineering, & Construction
FORUM II
Visionary Leadership for Downtown Growth
FORUM III
Realizing Our Downtown Vision: Next Steps
