Dallas’ C14 Committee and the Adam's Mark Hotel Dallas has blocked out 150 rooms (of 1,840 guest rooms) per night as a starting point for Convergence 14 - depending on attendance, more rooms can be added to the block. With 827 over sized deluxe double bedded sleeping rooms, 211 Suites (23 Presidential Suites), and 802 king bedded rooms, the Adam’s Mark Dallas is the largest hotel in the Southwest! The deluxe double bedded rooms feature all queen beds - no twin/full! For your added security and convenience, reservations will be made directly with the hotel.

In addition, Adam's Mark Hotel Dallas has provided space within the hotel to accommodate C14 daily events and activities. This includes space for vendors and artists, the meet & greet (with a cash bar for drinks and refreshments), and smaller “break-out” rooms for afternoon activities, workshops, and film viewing. In Dallas, C14 attendees will enjoy exclusively reserved space for all in-hotel activities. The Adams Mark hotel also connects to a shopping mall and an ice-skating rink.
