Travel, time zone and arrival
John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH) is 69 km (43 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.
Westerville, Dublin and Mansfield are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Marion has nothing free on your dates.
