Before Coming to 2025 Dine In Cinema +FEC Summit!

Kindly review the 2025 Agenda and note the following below:

  1. THE APP: Time to download the app as we will be using this for correspondences during the show.
  2. TRANSPORTATION: Buses will be departing from The Driskill Hotel according to the agenda. It is important to take all of your items off the bus each time. Make sure you ride each bus for the goodies!
  3. EXHIBITOR SEATING: As always, exhibitors take priority with seating. With honoring  all the “special favors” seating is going to be tight and quite possibly not enough for everyone on the list. If you are an exhibitor, please take a seat first. Vendors, please wait until all the exhibitors have been seated. THEN, Vendors, a max of two from your company are able to be seated at this time. If after this there is still room, you may seat the remainder of your group.  If there is not a seat available, you may hang in the lobby. You may choose to swap out your team for different sessions. Again, this is not ideal, and yes, next year new policies will be in place- just a heads up. Therefore, it is important to not get comfortable with how things went in previous years. Every year is a learning year for us. The evening events are not an issue for attendance.
  4. SWAG BAGS: We have enough for 250 attendees. If you get one great. If not, there is always next year. You should bring your bag with you during the duration of the conference. You will be moving between theaters during the day (at the same venue), and you will be getting things during the day.
  5. SPONSORS: Anytime you see a sponsor, please thank them. They have done an amazing job contributing to this event to make what it is. They will appreciate your love. They are going to talk about themselves, be ready and be respectful. If we don’t have sponsors, we don’t have an event. We, Matt and I, don’t take a salary from this activity. We do it because we passionately believe in this industry or we are insane. We are still assessing. Regardless, your “fun for 3.5 days” is because of sponsors and our free labor.
  6. EVENING EVENTS: Do attend all the events. The spirit of the Summit is that we are all together all day and we party at night. It is not high school where you break off because you think you are cooler than others. The events are all paid for. You will have drinks (alcoholic and non) and dinner. If you have extra money to go out on your own, shoot it over this way:) Client meetings can happen on Thursday evening as we all know you told your work you were at this through Friday.
  7. NAME TAGS: You will pick up your name tags at the Monday night event or Tuesday morning at Flix Brewhouse. If you do not pick up your name tag at either of these events, you will need to find Amy. Don’t ask Matt. This is not his thing. He will ask Amy.
  8. Breakfast: Texas grab and go breakfast will be offered Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday. For you coffee lovers and energy drinkers,  Travellin’ Tom’s Coffee Truck will be available from 10am-noon Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday at the movie theater locations. If you need that coffee first thing in the morning to get yourself going, the hotel is the best option for you.
  9. Happy Hour Glasses: You will be receiving a branded pilsner glass during each happy hour. If it is DICS Branded with (EDC, Strong Technologies or A&A Prize Global), you may take it. If it says Waterford Crystal or anything not DICS, you need to leave it at the venue.
  10. Traveling Between Theaters During Presentations: Kindly be quiet and clean up your seat area so people coming in know they can sit there. We have just enough seats for everyone attending. Don’t be a seat hog.
  11. Wristbands: You will need to check in at each evening event to the registration table and receive a wristband. Without a wristband, you will not be able to eat or drink on us.
  12. Oversold. Yes, we are grossly oversold. Although your friends might be cool, there is not room on the ranch. However, anyone can register for the 2026 Summit beginning on August 1,2026. Don’t put us in the position of having to say “no” to peeps you need to have there.

If you have any questions/comments/concerns text us at Amy at 512-799-8601 or Matt at 512-799-8600. That will be the quickest way to get an answer.

We are grateful for each of you and let’s raise a glass to the seventh annual Dine In Cinema+ FEC Summit!

Amy and Matt
