2017 Rendezvous Points and Table Leaders

HOW am I getting to Diner en Blanc Dallas if I don't know the location?

...Rendezvous Points!
Because the location is a secret up until the moment you get there, our attendees meet at Rendezvous Points around the city, and either hop on a chartered bus, take the DART to the location or meet at a walking point with all of your supplies and head to the secret location. Once the event is over, you either walk back or return on your same bus to go back to your original rendezvous point.

During registration, you will choose your Rendezvous Point, and once it is chosen, it cannot be changed. We want you to know the locations ahead of time so you are prepared to choose during registration, as you only have a few minutes to complete your registration once you begin.
 

Some things to remember: 

• A few of these lots are pay lots, so you may have to pay for parking depending on your spot. Remember to bring cash or credit or download the pay-by-phone app at paybyphone.com.
• We only have allotted a few busses at each location, so your preferred Rendezvous point might not be available when you register. Always have a backup plan!
• You won't know if you have a walking or bus location until you arrive!
• Information on the timing of the event, when you should arrive at your Rendezvous point and the exact location, etc, will be provided to the members once registration is completed, a few weeks before the event.
• Rendezvous points are subject to change. Your assigned Table Leader will send you information on the exact location before the event. Don't forget to read those emails!
