Capacities are the figure the venue or an encyclopaedia entry published. They are usually the seated maximum, and the same room in banquet or reception layout can differ by half. Confirm the layout you want before you plan around a number.
Getting attendees to Dayton
Dayton International Airport (DAY) is 16 km (9.9 mi) out — a normal airport transfer, worth an hour in the run of show on the first morning.
The city runs on New York time (America/New_York). Schedules published in one zone and read in another are the most common cause of a half-empty first session.
Kettering, Fairborn and Xenia are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Dayton has nothing free on your dates.
