Access and arrival
At 60 km (37 mi), Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) makes arrival day a travel day. Open registration the evening before if you can.
The centre of Wheeling is 2.7 km (1.7 mi) away, which is a taxi rather than a walk and a reason to publish an arrival map.
Wheeling has 16 venues mapped in total and a population of 26,060. The Wheeling guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.

A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.

One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
