Weather
Dallas in February is late winter. Typical daytime highs run about 14-19 C (57-66 F) and overnight lows about 4-8 C (39-46 F). Rain is possible, and occasional ice or light snow can disrupt roads; the conference is indoors, but bring a warm layer and check the forecast before travel. These are climatological ranges, not a 2027 forecast.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
U.S. mobile networks use 4G LTE and 5G; eSIM plans are widely available for international visitors. The Sheraton Dallas Hotel Conference Center and downtown hotels generally provide Wi-Fi, but confirm whether conference Wi-Fi is included with registration. Power is 120 V at 60 Hz with Type A/B plugs, so bring a plug adapter and check voltage for 230 V devices. Download the ISEE programme, DART app and rideshare apps before leaving the airport.

Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Business dress
Business casual is the norm at U.S. technical conferences: collared shirts, trousers or equivalent, and a jacket for senior meetings. Dallas conference rooms can be cool, so bring a layer.
Tipping
Restaurant servers usually receive 18-20 percent before tax; bartenders, hotel housekeeping and shuttle drivers are also tipped. Check whether a service charge is already included on the bill.
Conference etiquette
Questions after a technical paper are normally brief and direct. At exhibitor booths, ask before taking photos of equipment or displays, and exchange business cards rather than assuming a follow-up meeting.
Safety and site talk
Explosives professionals often discuss regulatory and site-safety topics in detail; avoid photographing magazine, security or blast-design material without permission.
Local transport and distances
Dallas is car-oriented outside the downtown core. Allow more time than a map suggests for airport transfers and for hotels outside downtown.

Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Flights
Destination: DFW
Fare checks for a 2-6 February 2027 travel window showed New York JFK-DFW nonstops from about USD 259 and LaGuardia departures from about USD 159. Tokyo fares were flagged as high at the time of capture; London and Singapore searches returned no usable itinerary data, so compare routings rather than assuming a fare. Book a refundable or changeable ticket if you are tying travel to the final programme, build a buffer day before the conference, and re-check schedules close to departure. DFW has more international connections; DAL is closer to downtown but has fewer long-haul options.
Transport
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Dallas/Fort Worth International (DFW): Approx. 30-45 min by car to Downtown Dallas; Dallas Love Field (DAL): Approx. 15-25 min by car to Downtown Dallas. Allow road or rail time to Sheraton Dallas Hotel Conference Center; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Sheraton Dallas Hotel Conference Center: Northwest Dallas near Love Field: Comfort Suites NW Dallas Near Love Field; North Dallas at Preston: Holiday Inn Express & Suites North Dallas at Preston by IHG; Downtown Dallas: Hilton Garden Inn Downtown Dallas.
Ride-hail: Uber and Lyft operate at both DFW and Dallas Love Field, with designated rideshare pickup zones. From DFW to downtown Dallas, expect roughly 30-45 minutes and USD 50-70 before surge; from Love Field, roughly 15-25 minutes and USD 25-40. Pooled options can be cheaper but slower. Confirm the pickup level and your hotel entrance, especially at the large Sheraton Dallas conference hotel.
Public transit: Downtown Dallas is served by DART light rail and bus routes. The Orange Line connects DFW Airport to the downtown rail network, and the Green Line serves the Love Field area via the Love Link 524 bus connection. For the Sheraton Dallas Hotel Conference Center, use the downtown Arts District/West End stops and walk or take a short rideshare; confirm the best station and live schedules in the DART app. Fares are approximate: about USD 3 for a local single ride and about USD 6 for a day pass, but check DART's current fare table before travel.
Parking: Parking is available in downtown Dallas garages and at the Sheraton Dallas Hotel Conference Center; rates vary by duration and event demand. Expect approximate daily rates of USD 20-35 for hotel or venue garages, with higher charges for oversized vehicles. Confirm current rates, clearance and in/out privileges with the venue or hotel before arrival. If you are staying at a suburban hotel such as Comfort Suites NW Dallas or Holiday Inn North Dallas at Preston, check whether parking is free and budget a car or rideshare for the final approach.
