Speakers
PIE 2026 takes place at the Hilton Anatole in Dallas, a beautifully renovated resort-style hotel just minutes from both DFW and Dallas Love airports. This AAA Four Diamond property sits on 45 acres in Dallas’ trendy Design District and features a seven-acre private Sculpture Park with walking paths. This hotel has everything located on-site for a great parking convention (including a Starbucks and FedEx Office). All hotel rooms are a short walk (inside) to both the session rooms and the trade show floor.Â
After the show, unwind at the 80,000-square-foot spa and fitness club, or try the Topgolf Swing Suite with three virtual golf bays. While you’re there, explore the largest hotel art collection in America with over 1,000 museum-quality pieces, including two authentic sections of the Berlin Wall and the renowned “Nebula” kinetic sculpture. Â
At the hotel, dining options include SER Steak + Spirits on the 27th floor with prime steaks and panoramic Dallas skyline views, Media Bar & Grill for casual fare and sports, plus Counter Offer for gourmet grab-and-go items. Four bars throughout the hotel keep refreshments close. (Including one that is centrally located to all of the events and rooms.)Â
If you want to leave the hotel, you’re perfectly positioned in Dallas’ Design District, minutes from Uptown and Oak Lawn. The American Airlines Center, Bishop Arts District, and downtown Dallas offer abundant dining, shopping, entertainment, and nightlife options.Â
