The Visionary Exchange, created by Steven D. Hill, is a Fall Creative Industry & Vendor Mixer combined with a Holiday Toy Drive, bringing together entrepreneurs, small-business owners, creatives, professionals, and community supporters for an unforgettable experience.
Join us on Sunday, November 15, 2026, from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM, at L.A.Y.D Spaces, 224 Sunset Avenue, Dallas, TX 75208.
The event will feature local vendors, shopping opportunities, business networking, community connections, and entertainment. TreG from DeDe In The Morning on K104FM will serve as the event host, with music provided by DJ Judy B.
One of the afternoon's special highlights will be the presentation of the inaugural Visionary of the Year Award, recognizing an outstanding individual who has demonstrated leadership, resilience, community involvement, and a commitment to uplifting others.
Beyond networking and celebration, The Visionary Exchange is also about making a meaningful difference. Through the Foundation to Success Holiday Toy Drive, guests are encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped toy to help bring holiday joy to local children experiencing homelessness.
The Visionary Exchange is more than an event. It's an opportunity to build relationships, support local businesses, celebrate community excellence, and create a positive impact together.

COME CONNECT. COME SUPPORT. COME GIVE BACK.
The Visionary Exchange — Bringing Vision, Business, and Community Together.
From October through the beginning of December, the Foundation to Success Holiday Toy Drive unites Dallas-area residents, organizations, influencers, and businesses to collect new toys and other essential resources for children who might otherwise go without during the holiday season.
The initiative began in 2011 as a small, grassroots effort among Steven D. Hill and a group of close friends. The mission was inspired by Steven’s own childhood experiences benefiting from community programs such as the Salvation Army’s Angel Tree and Big Brothers Big Sisters. Because he personally understood the lasting impact of community generosity, Steven made it his mission to create that same sense of hope, joy, and support for other children.
What began as a personal passion project has grown into a highly anticipated annual Dallas tradition with more than a decade of community service, trusted partnerships, and meaningful impact.
Who I Support
The primary beneficiary of the campaign is Vogel Alcove, a respected Dallas organization committed to helping children and families overcome the effects of homelessness and poverty.
Vogel Alcove provides therapeutic early childhood education, developmental care, family support, and case-management services to children and families experiencing homelessness. Your partnership will help create a bright and memorable holiday season while supporting a larger mission of stability, opportunity, and long-term success.
