FAQs


  • The conference will be held at the Drury Plaza Hotel Dallas Richardson.
    HERE is a link to the conference venue on Google Maps.

    Public Transportation

    The conference venue is just a 3-minute walk from the Bush Turnpike Station. Riding on the DART typically costs about $3.00. The Orange and Red Line light rails will connect you directly from the conference venue all the way to downtown Dallas (if you want to do some sightseeing) and even to DFW airport. Not a bad deal for just $3!

    Car

    The conference venue offers free parking for guests of the hotel. There's also plenty of parking available along the streets near the hotel, and a large parking garage (free) two blocks over.

    Rideshare

    Uber and Lyft are readily available in the area surrounding the hotel.

  • Dallas has two major airports, and both are convenient for accessing the conference venue.

    Dallas Love Field Airport (DAL)

    DAL is the primary hub of Southwest Airlines. So you'll find plenty of flights options there. The airport is more centrally located and has the amenities of most major airports.

    Fun fact: DAL was commissioned in 1917 as a training base for the US Army Air Service during World War I.

    Dallas Fort-Worth Airport (DFW)

    DFW is a major international airport and the primary hub of American Airlines. It also has many other international and domestic airlines to give you maximum number of options. Most flights (other than Southwest) fly into DFW. DFW is also connected to the DART light rail system so you can easily go from the airport to the hotel in a single train ride (it takes about 1.5 hours by train).

    Fun fact: DFW Airport is larger than the island of Manhattan and is the 5th busiest airport in the world.

  • We've got a conference rate at the Drury Plaza Hotel (just a short elevator ride to the conference venue). The hotel is clean and the staff is super friendly - the CQ team members who stay there say it's one of the best hotel experiences they've had.

    To book your rooms using the conference rate, visit: Drury Plaza Hotel - Book and Stay

    But hurry, the rooms at this preferred rate are limited and expected to sell out!

    While we encourage you to stay at the Drury, here are some other options in the area:

  • We've worked really hard to make sure that this conference is as economical as possible while still being a valuable experience for everyone involved. You can see the different tiers of tickets HERE.

    Your conference ticket includes meals for both days of the conference and admission into all sessions that you're interested in.

    Contact us at info@calcuquote.com for inquiries regarding:

    • Group rates (5+ people from one company)
    • Sponsorships
  • To maximize value for conference attendees we are organizing the conference into several different tracks based on the interest of the attendees. You can of course attend events in any track you want (you're not just limited to a single track).

    Events will be structured as a combination of:

    • Presentations from industry leaders and subject matter experts
    • Round table discussions and open dialogues
    • General networking / socializing

    Is there a specific subject you'd like to see a session about? Please let us know by emailing info@calcuquote.com - as always, your feedback is welcome!

     

  • If the event is canceled entirely for some reason (fingers crossed this doesn't happen!) then the full value of your ticket price will be refunded to you. We cannot reimburse you for other travel-related expenses if this were to occur.

    But if you are unable to attend due to a change in plans, illness, or travel disruption, we are unable to offer refunds for the ticket. If there are special circumstances you'd like us to consider, just email us at info@calcuquote.com.

It's seriously been nice to hear and share their experiences and how they are using the technology. Get some ideas on what we could do. So I would highly recommend it.
