Dallas Festival of Ideas (UPDATED)

UPDATE: With the forecast of a Texas thunderstorm, Saturday's Dallas Festival of Ideas will now take place in Section A of the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center. The event had been scheduled outdoors at Dallas City Hall Plaza, until the probability of rain forced the change. Read more about the changes here. Free shuttles will take people to and from the Festival of Ideas at the convention center to the Dallas Book Festival happening down the street.
