A of all, the meeting is now live streamed online, so there's less reason to go. B of all, You can stay in Kansas City or Des Moines the Friday night before the meeting, and potentially get a flight out Saturday night or Sunday. It's two hour drive from Des Moines to Omaha, so doesn't make for too crazy early leaving Saturday morning. There are also some decent hotels on the drive from KC or Des Moines to Omaha, so you could stop a bit closer.
