How people reach Frisco
Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) is 35 km (22 mi) out — a normal airport transfer, worth an hour in the run of show on the first morning.
Frisco keeps Chicago time (America/Chicago), which matters most for the remote speakers you are dialling in.
The Colony, Little Elm and Allen are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Frisco has nothing free on your dates.

Before you hold a date
The city is smaller than the market
235,208 people live in Frisco itself, but about 8.3 million live in the wider Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX. Your local audience is far bigger than the city line suggests, and so is the commute your day-rate attendees will make.
What event67 costs for a Frisco event

- billable, after the first 50 are free
- 900billable, after the first 50 are free

An arena or stadium floor at 20,500 takes an audience no conference venue in Frisco can.
