What it costs to get us there
Roughly what travel & expenses run by market, quoted up front.
Metro Detroit
No travel fee here.
Our home radius. The crew and the kit are already here, so there’s no travel fee.
Michigan road markets
A drive, not a flight.
We bill driving time and fuel, plus a hotel or Airbnb night for anything past a comfortable same-day round trip.
Midwest drives
Close enough to drive.
Chicago, Columbus, and Cincinnati are a day’s drive from Detroit, so we bring the kit in the truck instead of shipping it. You pay the drive, the fuel, and the nights.
- ChicagoAbout four and a half hours. Two nights for a one-day event.$700 – $1,100 / person / day
- ColumbusAbout three hours. Driving time, fuel, a night or two, meals.Quoted per trip
- CincinnatiAbout four hours. Same math as Columbus.Quoted per trip
National fly-to markets
We fly the crew to you.
Flights, hotels, and ground. Costs swing with the season: a premium conference week can mean $700/night hotels and $1,000 flights, while quieter dates drop to $200 and $400. The ranges below are honest averages.

The line items
Inside a travel quote
Your company pays all of these costs when it sends team members to an event. We’re the same. We’re not trying to nickel-and-dime you: these are the general costs of getting our team there, separate from the work itself.
- Team travel daysFor each day someone flies or drives and doesn’t shoot.
- DrivingDrive time and fuel when the crew drives to your event.
- FlightsBooked early, once your date is locked.
- Bags and shipping the kitDriving markets: it rides in the truck. Fly-to markets: shipped or checked.
- LodgingA hotel or Airbnb we book ourselves, close to the venue. Not the conference hotel unless you want us there.
- Airport parkingAt the airport we fly out of, for the days we are gone.
- Rides on the groundLyft or Uber between the airport, where we stay and the venue, when we are not staying on site.
- MealsFor each travel and event day away from home. It varies by city: Las Vegas costs more than Detroit.
