It's coming June 12-13 and you don't want to miss it! DFW Ham Expo for 2026 is (again) Twice as Big! We are still at the centrally-located Vista Mall in Lewisville (TX) but after selling out our 11,000 sq. ft. space for 2025, we are more than doubling in size again for 2026. We will have over 25,000 sq. ft.of exhibit area in the much larger NTX Arena at Vista Mall (former JCPenney store), with direct outside access to a large dedicated parking lot. Our much larger exhibit area will allow spacious traffic flows, plenty of air conditioning, and featured space and placement for Commercial Dealers, as well as over 200 vendor tables.

Just like 2025, DFW Ham Expo is still Two Days (Friday 1pm-6pm and Saturday 8am-3pm, Tailgate Saturday only at 7am). We expect to welcome more than 1,000 hams this year! Not quite the same size as Ham-Com, but give us a few years.
Ham Radio Outlet will be back this year and their DFW Ham Expo display will be well stocked, and they can take orders onsite for anything that's not onsite. They will be joined by other Commercial Vendors in our much larger high-traffic Vendor Hall that is designed for trade shows and exhibits. Over 200 vendor tables are available. Premium table placement at end of row and endcap is also available. Vendor tables will have more back-to-back spacing than 2025.
Plus the things you've come to expect from DFW Ham Expo: Outdoor tailgate on Saturday starting at 7am - get your bargains early. Ham Radio VE testing by the W5YI Crew. Radio Testing by AE5IV - test that radio before you buy. New this year is a convenient concessions stand, coffee cart and food truck access, joined to our new Social Area. Plus convenient access to a stocked ATM and the Mall's Food Court vendors.
Admission tickets are only $10 and are available online (and at the door). Packages of Prize Tickets are also available (3 for $5 and 15 for $20) so you can increase your chances of winning. Buy your Admission and Prize Tickets in advance and they will be pre-printed and available at the separate will-call check-in - avoid having to stand in line and fill out your name multiple times!

PURCHASE YOUR TICKETS at our DFW Ham Expo website: dfwhamexpo.com. As with previous years, we use the Zeffy non-profit platform for ticket sales (and you can always select "other" to reduce their suggested service charge).
VENDORS: Vendor Table purchase is now available on the DFW Ham Expo website. Be sure to reserve your table soon if you have goodies to sell as we expect the remaining tables will go quickly. Draft show layout and detailed information for vendors is available on the DFW Ham Expo website - Information for Vendors - and will hopefully answer your questions.
We look forward to seeing you there! And be sure to tell your friends! Detailed directions and a map are available on the DFW Ham Expo website - dfwhamexpo.com
