Dell Technologies World 2027: Attendee travel guide

Dell Technologies World brings Dell customers, partners, technology professionals, and business leaders together for keynotes, technical education, product demonstrations, and conversations about enterprise technology. Planning your hotel, transportation, budget, and priorities before you arrive can help you spend more of the week learning, meeting with partners, and exploring the technologies relevant to your organization.

What is Dell Technologies World and who is it for?

Dell Technologies World is Dell's annual customer and partner conference. The 2027 event takes place Monday, May 24-Thursday, May 27, at The Venetian in Las Vegas.[1][2]

The conference is designed for technology professionals, business leaders, Dell customers, and members of Dell's partner community. Attendees typically include IT leaders, infrastructure and operations teams, developers, channel partners, systems architects, and executives evaluating technology for their organizations.

The 2026 conference featured keynotes, more than 200 breakout sessions, hands-on labs, certifications, executive briefings, partner exhibits, networking spaces, and an evening entertainment program.[2] Dell is yet to confirm which of these elements will return in 2027.

Before you arrive, identify the technologies, challenges, and companies most relevant to your work. A clear set of priorities can help you choose sessions, plan visits to the expo floor, and make better use of meetings with Dell experts and partners.

What makes Dell Technologies World 2027 worth the trip

Dell Technologies World gives attendees opportunities to hear directly from Dell leaders, explore technologies and partner solutions in person, participate in technical education, and connect with people working on similar infrastructure and business challenges.

Programming at the 2026 conference included:[2]

• Keynotes: Presentations focused on Dell's strategy, technology announcements, and developments affecting customers and partners
• Breakout sessions: Technical and business sessions covering major technology topics and organizational priorities
• Hands-on labs and certifications: Opportunities to work directly with technology, connect one-to-one with Dell experts, and complete complimentary certifications
• Solutions Expo: Product demonstrations and exhibits from Dell Technologies and its partners
• Meeting and executive briefing centers: Dedicated spaces for scheduled discussions with Dell leaders and subject matter experts
• The Village: Networking areas, hands-on activities, and community programming
• Evening entertainment: A Dell-hosted event for attendees

Once Dell publishes the 2027 program, prioritize the experiences that benefit most from attending in person, including demonstrations, hands-on labs, expert conversations, and meetings with partners.

Where to stay for Dell Technologies World 2027

Dell Technologies World 2027 will take place at The Venetian. The Venetian and The Palazzo guest towers are connected to The Venetian Convention & Expo Center, allowing attendees to reach the conference without leaving the resort.[2][7]

Hotels elsewhere on the Strip may offer lower rates, but compare the complete route to the conference entrance before booking. Las Vegas properties that appear close together on a map can still involve long walks through casinos, shopping areas, pedestrian bridges, and outdoor sidewalks.

Hotels near The Venetian Convention & Expo Center

Compare these areas based on conference access, current rates, and the amount of outdoor walking required:

If convenience is the priority, start with The Venetian and The Palazzo. Both towers connect to the conference facilities, restaurants, and other resort amenities.[7] If those properties are unavailable or exceed your budget, compare nearby hotels based on the actual route to The Venetian rather than their distance from the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Dell Technologies World Hotel pricing

Navan analyzed anonymized hotel bookings near The Venetian during Dell Technologies World week in May 2026 to provide some context for 2027 planning.[5]

• Median hotel rate: The median nightly rate was $296, compared with $283 during an earlier week that May, a difference of approximately 5%.[5]
• Stay length: Business travelers booked an average stay of 2.4 nights.[5]
• Late bookings: Approximately 42% of stays were booked within two weeks of arrival.[5]
• Booking windows: Travelers who booked two to four weeks ahead paid the lowest median nightly rate at $212. That increased to $330 one to two weeks before arrival and $333 during the final seven days.[5]

Official housing information for Dell Technologies World 2027 hasn't been published, so we can't assume that booking directly with The Venetian, The Palazzo, or another hotel will provide access to an official conference rate. Check Dell's website once registration and housing become available.

Las Vegas flight trends

Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) is the primary airport for attendees flying to Las Vegas.[6] Navan data from Dell Technologies World week in May 2026 included 1,916 business flight bookings into Las Vegas, with 6.6% originating outside the U.S.[5] The most common origin cities were New York, San Francisco, Newark, Chicago, and Los Angeles.

If Monday programming begins early, arriving Sunday, May 23, can provide time to check into your hotel and collect your conference credentials before the event starts. Dell hasn't announced 2027 badge-pickup locations or hours, so confirm those details before finalizing your arrival time.

How to budget for Dell Technologies World in Las Vegas

Plan your budget around registration, lodging, flights, airport transportation, meals, and other expenses.

Federal per diem for Las Vegas

The U.S. General Services Administration sets federal per diem rates for lodging, meals, and incidental expenses. These rates apply to federal employees traveling on official business, although some companies also use them as benchmarks for travel budgets and reimbursement limits.

For May 2027, the FY2027 federal per diem rates for Las Vegas and Clark County are:

• $206 per day combined: Includes $120 for nightly lodging plus $86 for daily meals and incidental expenses (M&IE).[3][4]
• M&IE breakdown: Includes $22 for breakfast, $23 for lunch, $36 for dinner, and $5 for incidentals.[4]
• First and last travel days: Includes an M&IE allowance of $64.50, or 75% of the daily M&IE rate.[4]

The $120 lodging allowance is considerably lower than the $296 median nightly rate in Navan's 2026 Dell Technologies World hotel data.[3][5] If your company uses federal rates as a benchmark, compare the convenience of staying at The Venetian or The Palazzo with the cost of nearby hotels and any additional transportation they require.

Other expenses to consider

Include these expenses when estimating the cost of your trip:

• Conference registration: Dell is accepting pre-registrations, but paid registration and 2027 pass prices haven't yet been released.[1]
• Registration add-ons: Dell hasn't announced whether any 2027 labs, certifications, or other programs will carry additional fees.
• Flights: Compare arriving Sunday with a Monday morning arrival, particularly if you're traveling from the East Coast or outside the U.S.
• Airport transportation: Budget for a taxi, rideshare, public transit, or another transfer between LAS and your hotel.
• Meals: Account for meals that aren't included with conference programming, and check whether your company requires you to reduce your daily meal allowance when food is provided.
• Client and team dinners: Restaurants at The Venetian can cost considerably more than the federal dinner allowance.
• Resort fees and deposits: Check the total hotel price rather than relying only on the displayed nightly rate.
• Local transportation: Attendees staying away from The Venetian may need rideshares or taxis, especially for early sessions or evening events.
• After-hours events: Leave room for transportation, meals, and other expenses associated with sponsor events or team gatherings.

Plan your Dell Technologies World agenda

Although Dell hasn't published the 2027 agenda, session catalog, speakers, exhibitors, or daily hours, the 2026 conference included two main keynotes, more than 200 breakout sessions, hands-on labs, certifications, executive briefings, networking spaces, the Solutions Expo, and Wednesday evening entertainment.[2] These details could provide a sense of the expected format for 2027.

Dell also hasn't announced a 2027 event app or attendee hub. Previous editions used an Attendee Hub for session and event information, but we advise waiting for Dell to publish the 2027 tools before relying on previous versions.[2]

Build a plan around your priorities

Once Dell publishes the agenda and exhibitor information, build your schedule around the sessions, technologies, and conversations most relevant to your work. Leave enough time to move between conference rooms, explore the Solutions Expo, and speak with Dell teams and partners.

Here are a few ways to prepare:

• Sessions: Save the keynotes, technical sessions, labs, and briefings most relevant to your work once the catalog is available.
• Expo: Identify the Dell products and partner solutions you want to explore, then group nearby booths together when the floor plan is released.
• Meetings: Contact Dell representatives, partners, customers, or colleagues about two weeks before the event to schedule conversations.
• Logistics: Confirm registration hours, badge-pickup instructions, expo hours, and event-app details before departure.
• Contacts: Decide how you'll save contact information and add a short note after each conversation so you remember the context.

Once you know which days you'll attend, use our business trip planning guide to coordinate your flights, hotel, and departure plans around the event schedule.

What to pack and wear at Dell Technologies World

Business casual clothing is appropriate for most conference sessions, expo visits, and meetings. Comfortable shoes are especially important because The Venetian resort and conference complex is large, even if you stay onsite.

May in Las Vegas typically brings daytime highs around 91°F (33°C) and overnight lows around 66°F (19°C), with limited rainfall and low humidity.[8] Most conference activities will take place indoors, but attendees staying away from The Venetian may spend time walking outside in the heat. Pack light layers that are easy to add or remove as you move between air-conditioned conference spaces and outdoor routes.

Conference essentials

A few practical items can make long days of sessions, demonstrations, and meetings more comfortable:

• Two pairs of comfortable shoes: Alternating shoes can help during several consecutive days of walking and standing.
• Portable charger: Event information, messages, maps, notes, and photos can drain your phone's battery.
• Reusable water bottle: Las Vegas's dry climate makes it important to drink water throughout the day.
• Lip balm and moisturizer: Dry outdoor air and air-conditioned meeting spaces can leave skin and lips feeling uncomfortable.
• Light sweater or jacket: Conference rooms and expo halls may feel cool even when it's hot outside.
• Sunscreen and sunglasses: These are useful if your hotel requires an outdoor walk to The Venetian.
• Small backpack or laptop bag: Carry chargers, meeting materials, water, and other essentials comfortably.

Getting from the airport to Dell Technologies World

Harry Reid International Airport is the main airport serving the Las Vegas Strip. A taxi or rideshare is generally the simplest option for travelers with luggage, although travel times vary based on traffic and pickup demand.

Las Vegas taxis use flat rates for trips from the airport to designated Strip zones. Confirm the posted zone and fare before departure.[6] Dell hasn't announced a dedicated 2027 airport shuttle. If you stay at The Venetian or The Palazzo, you can reach the conference spaces through the connected resort after checking in.[7]

Beyond sessions: Make time for the Solutions Expo and networking

Some of the most useful parts of Dell Technologies World happen outside scheduled sessions. Leave time for the Solutions Expo, hands-on demonstrations, conversations with Dell experts, partner meetings, and discussions with other attendees.

• Review the exhibitor list: Identify Dell teams and partners that relate directly to the products, services, or projects you're evaluating.
• Schedule meetings before you arrive: Contact partners, customers, and colleagues about two weeks before the event to arrange conversations.
• Prepare specific questions: Write down what you want to understand about each product, integration, or service before visiting the booth.
• Group booth visits: Use the expo map to visit nearby exhibitors together and reduce unnecessary walking.
• Take notes after each conversation: Record important product details, questions, and next steps while the discussion is still fresh.
• Follow up within 48 hours: Send a short email or LinkedIn message that references the conversation and identifies a clear next step.
• Build in short breaks: Several days of sessions, meetings, and expo visits can be tiring. Leave time to eat, drink water, and recharge.

A smaller number of relevant conversations with clear next steps will generally be more useful than collecting contacts without enough context to follow up.

What to eat at Dell Technologies World 2027

Long conference days can make it easy to skip meals or rely on snacks. Eat breakfast before the first session, keep an easy snack in your bag, and drink water throughout the day. The Venetian has numerous restaurants and quick-service options within the resort. These choices may be useful for different schedules:

• Client dinner: Delmonico Steakhouse is a Creole steakhouse inside The Venetian. It serves lunch and dinner, accepts reservations, and requires business casual attire.[9]
• Team meal or late dinner: Grand Lux Cafe at The Venetian offers a broad menu and is open 24 hours.[10]
• Quick lunch: The Venetian's restaurants, food hall, cafés, and conference concessions provide options when you don't have time to leave the resort between sessions.

Reserve client dinners and larger team meals before arriving, particularly if you need a specific time or a table for a group. Navan Edge can book Las Vegas restaurants in the same chat where you arrange your flight and hotel.

Finish strong on departure day

Dell hasn't published Thursday's closing time, so avoid booking a flight that could require you to miss programming you want to attend. Once the agenda is available, check the final-day schedule before confirming your departure.

Before checking out:

• Pack the night before: Charge your devices, organize your belongings, and check the room for chargers, badges, and other items.
• Confirm late checkout: If you have an evening flight, ask the hotel about late checkout or luggage storage.
• Allow enough airport time: Plan to arrive at least two hours before a domestic flight and three hours before an international flight.
• Upload receipts: Save hotel, meal, and transportation receipts while the charges are still easy to identify.
• Organize your notes: Review the sessions, demonstrations, and conversations you want to share with your team.
• Schedule follow-ups: Send messages or create calendar reminders for important next steps.
• Plan a debrief: Set aside time after the event to share useful findings with colleagues.
