Getting attendees to Mesquite
Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) is 43 km (27 mi) away, far enough that arrival day is genuinely a travel day and a first session before noon will lose people.
Mesquite keeps Chicago time (America/Chicago), which matters most for the remote speakers you are dialling in.
Rowlett, Garland and Dallas are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Mesquite has nothing free on your dates.

Things that catch organizers out here
Arrival is a half-day
43 km (27 mi) from DFW 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
150,140 people live in Mesquite 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.
The bill for a Mesquite programme
A Mesquite programme at 950 activated attendees — sized to Memorial Stadium, the largest stated capacity in the Mesquite dataset — prices like this. Nothing is charged for the first 50, and nothing at all is charged past 1,000.

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