Celebrating 25 Years - Part 4: New Office, Same Mission
Gail Davis, 22 May 2024
For the first 12 years after the birth of GDA Speakers, we were based in the Tarrant County suburb of Colleyville, TX. At that point in time, Colleyville was an ideal location for me as the community offered a number of benefits for my children. But in 2011, with my children now grown, I decided it was time to make a change and move to Dallas.
GDA Colleyville Office: 1999-2011
My youngest son had graduated from college and joined the team at Stream Realty. I asked him to help me find a new office within walking distance from my new home. We looked at various buildings and landed on the top floor of 3500 Oak Lawn Avenue, in the heart of uptown Dallas, where we stayed until 2023.

We enlisted the help of my son once more to find us a new and exciting space to house our growing team. In the fall of 2023, we moved down the street into a state-of-the-art office space, marking yet another significant milestone in our journey as a company.
The gorgeous sleek, modern design of the office (with a killer view of the city!) not only reflects a new era for GDA but the innovative spirit that defines GDA.
GDA NEW Dallas Office: Present Day
From the moment you step inside, it's evident that this space is more than just a workplace—it's a hub of creativity and collaboration. The new office and growing team has created an electric energy and propelled us to level up on all fronts.
The move represents not only a physical expansion but also a symbolic one of GDA Speakers' commitment to growth and excellence in delivering the ultimate client experience. Our dedicated team of professionals continue to elevate the standards of connecting audiences with speakers who bring lasting impact to every stage.
One of the most exciting aspects of GDA Speakers' new office is its beautiful capacity to welcome visitors from Dallas and beyond. Whether you're a local client looking to book a speaker and brainstorm ideas for your next event or a speaker who is visiting the Dallas area, our doors are always open!

For GDA, the move to the new space was about creating a home for our community - a place where clients, speakers, and our team of experts can come together to collaborate and celebrate the power of the spoken word.
Our address may be different, but our mission of creating the ultimate client experience remains truer than ever.
