Downtown Dallas Hosts a National Security Summit Today — and the Megellas Awards Dinner Tonight
The Cyber Future Foundation, the University of North Texas and the Fort Worth Aviation Museum Foundation bring the National Security & Economic Strategy Summit to downtown Dallas on November 10-11, with registration closed and Wednesday's diplomatic breakfast by invitation only.
DALLAS — A two-day national security gathering takes over a corner of downtown Dallas starting this afternoon. The National Security & Economic Strategy Summit runs November 10-11, hosted by the Cyber Future Foundation together with the University of North Texas and the Fort Worth Aviation Museum Foundation, according to the foundation's official visitor guide, read in full by this desk. Registration for the Dallas gathering is closed, and the guide places the event in downtown Dallas, with the Hunt Oil Building at 1900 North Akard Street as the nearest landmark.
Today's schedule is a full one: registration and networking at 12:30 p.m., the summit program at 1:30 p.m., a Distinguished Leadership Reception at 6 p.m., and the Megellas & 5-Star Awards Dinner program at 7 p.m., closing with a reception from 8 to 8:45 p.m. The guide lists the University of North Texas's David Hamilton, its Executive Director for National Security & Economic Strategy, as the guest-assistance contact for the November 10 summit and awards gala.
Wednesday, November 11, narrows to a private room: an invitation-only Ambassadors' Breakfast and International Leadership Dialogue for select international and diplomatic guests, with the time and location communicated directly to confirmed guests. The foundation describes that session as designed to advance international dialogue across national security, economic resilience, strategic technology and international partnerships. For downtown, the practical note is the ordinary one — a closed-registration summit crowd around North Akard this afternoon and evening, in business or military-equivalent dress.
