DaThe Magic of Chocolate is coming to Dallas… and your
company should be there too.
The Dallas Chocolate Festival is returning to an in-
person event! From September 9th to 11th, 2022, the
Festival will be live at the F. I. G. in Downtown Dallas.
Additional virtual experiences will be available online via
the Whova platform. The platform will continue to hold
recordings of presentations, demos, and exhibitor
booths for at least a month.
The Dallas Chocolate Festival’s pandemic-required
virtual event in 2020, was sold-out in advance and won
the “Virtual Event of the Year” award from the DFW
Chapter of the National Association for Catering and
Events (NACE).
The Festival’s last in-person event in 2019, drew
approximately 3,000 chocolate lovers over the weekend.
We are planning for a similar attendance of chocolate
lovers over the weekend in 2022, that will learn, taste,

As we return the Dallas Chocolate Festival to an
in-person event, we will be as careful as possible
with crowd sizes, safe spacing, and food safety
while still keeping the enjoyment and sense of
discovery that the Festival is known for.
For the online version of the Dallas Chocolate
Festival we have again invested in the Whova
platform. This premium event management and
virtual conference software is used by P zer,
L’Oréal, Ford, Oracle, and the American Heart
Association among others. It includes a browser-
based site as well as a phone app. Both versions
are accessible world-wide.
As a sponsor you will have the option to have
a physical booth at the in-person event as
well as to customize your virtual space with
features like auto-play videos, real-time chat,
scheduled live video events, coupons, and
more.

Established in 2009, DallasChocolate.org
continues to be invested in educating the
community about craft chocolate… one
bar at a time. We nd when people learn
about the creativity, ingenuity, and hard
work that chocolate artisans put in to
creating their unique, quality products that
they appreciate the chocolate even more.
We are a small organization, and the
Festival is the primary vehicle for our
outreach e orts. Much like craft beer,
home baking, and comfort food; right now
the artisan chocolate industry is in the
midst of a revitalization. There is so much
good work being done — from farms
around the world to mom and pop
businesses all over the USA — and we
look forward to sharing that with the
t i o n
chocolate lovers of Dallas at our Festival.
Educ a
DallasChocolate.org is committed to chocolate
education. While this certainly includes educating
the public about the creativity and precision
required to craft artisan chocolate, it also means
supporting up and coming culinary arts students
who share our passion for all things chocolate.
Over the past ten years, DallasChocolate.org has
provided more than $20,000 in scholarships to
local culinary programs including the Institute of
Hospitality and Culinary Education at Collin
County Community College and the Dallas
College Culinary Arts Program for students
focusing on pastry arts with an emphasis on
chocolate.
