Nate touched on it in his post for VA/MD specifics but it's the same reason a NE, MAR, PNW, IN, and MI average District event costs are vastly different; local leadership has a lot of flexibility in what their district events will be like. Types of venues chosen, professional vs volunteer A/V, show elements, and professional event support such as ShowReadyEvents are all items that local leadership decides on. There's vastly different opinions on what is and isn't needed to run a district event. As long as that exists, and there isn't set standards, there will be differences between average DE cost between the regions. Same pretty much applies to DCMP.
