Getting attendees to Grand Prairie
Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) is 17 km (11 mi) out — a normal airport transfer, worth an hour in the run of show on the first morning.
The city runs on Chicago time (America/Chicago). Schedules published in one zone and read in another are the most common cause of a half-empty first session.
Irving, Arlington and Euless are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Grand Prairie has nothing free on your dates.
