WE CURRENTLY HAVE A WAITLIST. Tickets are $250. If you would like to attend, please email Sherry Jackson at sjackson@arlingtontx.com. 

Join us for an unforgettable evening of networking, dining and celebration. The 8th Annual Legends & Leaders, presented by SFC LLC, is a signature event celebrating a unique milestone or achievement in Arlington and recognizing the legends and leaders whose vision and impact helped make it possible.

This year, we are proud to celebrate two iconic milestones that showcase Arlington’s continued growth and influence on both a local and global stage: the revitalization of the historic Caravan Court Hotel and the excitement surrounding FIFA World Cup 2026™, which will bring nine matches to Arlington.

The evening will feature two fireside conversations recognizing two legends and two leaders whose vision and leadership made these milestones possible. Our first legend is the Caravan Court Hotel, alongside leader Sam Mahrouq, Founder and CEO of MEI Group and ikon Technologies, whose commitment and vision helped breathe new life into this historic Arlington landmark. Our second legend is FIFA World Cup 2026™, alongside leader Dan Hunt, President of FC Dallas and Co-Chair of the North Texas FIFA World Cup 2026 Organizing Committee Board, whose leadership is helping shape one of the largest sporting events in the world as North Texas prepares to welcome the global stage.

Guests will enjoy a unique resort-style experience throughout Caravan Court, featuring chef-attended food stations, carving stations, live music, courtyard lounges, and opportunities to explore the newly opened property. Several guest rooms surrounding the courtyard will be open for touring, and attendees are encouraged to mix, mingle, and experience the hotel’s distinctive indoor and outdoor spaces.

This is a ticketed event and registration is required to attend. Space is limited.
