CHICAGO, Sept. 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Chicago based Kapow Events today announced that it will open a new office location in Dallas, Texas on October 1. This will be the corporate event company's third location in the United States and its first in the south.

Kapow selected Dallas as its next location due to the city's strong restaurant scene and robust technology presence, which includes many existing Kapow clients such as CDW, Accenture and UBS.

Keeping in line with Kapow's local emphasis, co-founder Michael Timpone relocated from Chicago to Dallas and is aggressively staffing up the office with homegrown tastemakers and event professionals. The team is actively building out vendor relationships and crafting unique event packages tailored specifically to the local market. Kapow currently hosts dozens of events per week nationally out of its Chicago and New York City locations.

"Kapow is in a major growth phase right now because we recognize that we do our best work when we are a part of the local community. Our Dallas location will enable us to service companies in greater Texas, from Austin to Houston," explains Marc Halpin, CEO and Co-Founder of Kapow Events. "Dallas was the logical next office location for Kapow for three main reasons: it's the home to the third largest concentration of Fortune 500 companies; it's a popular destination for business and convention travel in the U.S.; and Dallas has a major restaurant scene with highly established venues that are attractive to corporate entertaining."

This year, Kapow Events has experienced a big increase in its operations. The company will move into new Chicago corporate headquarters at 205 W. Wacker on the 12^th floor this month. Kapow spent the last six months building out the 12,000-square-foot space that will resemble a lounge and feature a fully equipped bar to reflect the company's brand and inspire its clients.

In addition to its new Chicago headquarters, the company opened its Manhattan location in June and has been staffing up rapidly in Chicago, New York City and now Dallas.

"Kapow will continue to build a bigger presence in the United States as part of our ongoing commitment to offer a technology-enabled solution that helps companies more effectively sell to their clients through unique and interactive events," adds Halpin.
