Departure transportation will be provided on Sunday, June 28, to the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) only. Attendees flying in and out of Dallas Love Field (DAL) are responsible for their own transportation for arrivals and departures.

Discounted parking rates are offered to all Delta Gammas. 

Non-delegates and guests: Self-parking is available for $29 + tax a night and valet is available for $49 + tax. For those that are not staying onsite, stickers will be available at the Convention registration desk to scan when exiting the garage that give you the $29 parking rate.

Two World Cup matches will take place during our time in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, one on Thursday and one on Sunday. As a result, we anticipate increased demand for air travel and recommend booking flights as early as possible to secure the best pricing and availability. We also suggest allowing extra time at the airport when departing Dallas–Fort Worth, as higher passenger volumes are expected. 

We do not anticipate any impact on Convention itself. However, Convention is being held at a resort and convention center, and we do expect the property to be busy with World Cup attendees as well as guests participating in other events being held at the property. Additionally, the resort is located in a popular tourist area, and with Convention occurring right before a holiday week, increased traffic and higher guest volumes are likely. Please keep this in mind when planning your schedule and allow ample time to travel between meeting spaces.
