Kick off the week with high-energy games and networking at F1® Arcade, hosted by The Sports Facilities Companies and Texas Sports Tourism Coalition. Bonus, it's just a short walk from our host hotels!

This immersive Formula 1–inspired venue combines cutting-edge racing simulators with a vibrant social atmosphere, making it the perfect place to connect with industry peers and start the week with some friendly competition. 

Throughout the evening, attendees can jump into the driver’s seat and compete in a Fastest Lap Challenge, testing their racing skills on state-of-the-art F1 simulators and battling for a spot atop the leaderboard. Whether you are racing for bragging rights or cheering on colleagues from the sidelines, the excitement will be high and the competition fast. 

In between laps, enjoy great food and drinks while networking with fellow attendees. Relax inside the lively arcade space or step outside to the patio for fresh air and conversation, all while taking in the energy of the event. It is a fun, relaxed way to reconnect with familiar faces, meet new partners, and officially launch the week’s events at full speed.

NOTE: Event name badges are required for entry to all Sports ETA functions and must be worn at all times.
