How people reach Chillicothe
John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH) is 74 km (46 mi) away, far enough that arrival day is genuinely a travel day and a first session before noon will lose people.
Local time is New York time (America/New_York) — set every session time in the app to that zone and let attendees' phones do the conversion.
Lancaster, Grove City and Portsmouth are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Chillicothe has nothing free on your dates.

Things that catch organizers out here
Arrival is a half-day
74 km (46 mi) from CMH means most attendees lose a morning to travel. Open registration the evening before and put nothing you care about in the first slot.
The city is smaller than the market
21,769 people live in Chillicothe itself, but about 76,000 live in the wider Chillicothe, OH. Your local audience is far bigger than the city line suggests, and so is the commute your day-rate attendees will make.
